Blue Flock: Cadet

This lovely blue porcelain songbird is sure to be treasured for years to come. Collect one or group several together! This sculptural bird measures 6 1/8" on its longest side, 3 3/4" in height, with a depth of 1.3/8". My signature is on the decorated underside of the bottom of the bird. I use a high-fired porcelain clay body, rendering this form very robust. The songbird is a slab-constructed, hollow form. The songbird features a textural, patterned surface created by applying several layers of hand-colored porcelain slip over hand-drawn designs in wax resist. It is further enhanced with underglazes to highlight parts of the design with spots of color. The bottom part of the bird and these highlights of underglaze color are covered with a clear gloss glaze. This piece has been fired multiple times in an electric kiln...all of the decoration is permanent. NOTE: A pedestal base may be purchased separately, if desired ($30-35 additional).
