Description

Enamelled green bowl or dish with colourful spots.  The bowl is about 9.6cm diameter and 2cm tall.  I made this bowl using vitreous enamel and a kiln.  The main colour is green – I’d say the shade is a mid to slightly darker shade, close to British racing green or bottle green.  On the last firing, I added a sprinkle of cream enamel all over, plus millefiori pieces in the centre.  This has given pale freckles, plus colourful blobs.  The millefiori pieces are a little raised.  To finish the bowl, I filed the rim back to bright copper because I liked the contrast.

This is a decorative dish so please don’t put it in the dishwasher because the enamel could chip or crack (I use vitreous enamel, which is effectively glass).  The back of the bowl is enamelled in green too and shows slight marks from how the bowl is held when it is in the kiln.  Enamelling the back reduces how much the copper warps in the kiln.  I’ve signed the back.  One photo shows the back.

This enamelled green bowl is unique, I cannot reproduce the effect.
