Description

Red, heart shaped enamelled bowl.  The heart is about 10cm tall and 10cm wide at the widest point.  The edges don’t rise up much.

I made this bowl starting with 0.5mm thick copper sheet. I cut a heart shape out using a jewellers saw and shaped it into a shallow bowl.  Once I’d got the shape, I enamelled it using vitreous enamel and a kiln.  The main enamel colour is red, but on the last firing I added a sprinkle of white enamel.  This gave the red heart shaped bowl lots of tiny white spots.  The back of the bowl is enamelled in red and signed.  Enamel is effectively a glass coating.  It can crack if the bowl is dropped, but is reasonably tough.  I don’t think I’d trust it in a dishwasher though.

For the copper version (without enamel), I have –
