4.2 Cups Medium Size Patel Peacock Color Ceramic Salad Bowl

This is a flower-shaped bowl that is made from stoneware clay. It is brushed with a purple/pink patel to look like a peacock pattern on the inside, and has a smooth, satin creamy color on the outside. It’s a very unique bowls that look like a river flowing. They are my favorite pieces when opened the kiln that batch. It is a lightweight bowl with the right thickness of clay. The best salad bowls for serving, and transporting salads to 1-2 persons Approximate Size: Width: 20 cm Height: 8 cm Capacity: Holds 1,000 mL or 4.2 cups It is dishwasher/microwave safe, and is coated in lead-free glazes. Ceramic work is typically fired twice: It is Bisque fired and then Glaze fired I begins by wedging the clay to make sure it doesn’t have any air bubbles, and then it is thrown on the wheel head. Once the mug has dried to leather hard which usually take about 1-2 days, I will trim and add the handle. It is then Bisque fired for 6-8 hours at around 1,830 - 1,940 F in order to make strengthen the clay and transform it into a porous state for glazing. After I glaze my piece, the last step is glaze firing at a temperature of 2,185 - 2,232 F (I use cone 6 @ my home studio) usually taking about 24 hours, depending on kiln size and time to cool down. All my work is thrown on the wheel and fired in an electric kiln from a small home studio in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand.
