Pottery Brooch: Little Cake

A classically inspired cake, fresh from the oven. Crafted from plain batter, adorned with lightly sweetened whipped cream and strawberries. We're pleased with the satisfying, plump finish of the white glaze. Size: Approx. 30mm (height) x 30mm (width) Material: Pottery *Photo shows a sample. *Materials may be changed for future restocks. .............................................. Crafting Process. Starting with a sketch, we shape the clay, allowing it to dry slightly before refining the form through repeated steps. We produce enough pieces to fill the kiln evenly over about a month. Bisque firing takes 7 hours, after which they are removed, wiped with water, and individually glazed before a 12-hour final firing. Some pieces receive a gold glaze and are returned to the kiln for another 7 hours. As they require slow cooling, we wait about two days after each firing before removing them from the kiln. Finally, each piece is carefully inspected, and a pin is attached to those that meet our standards. Currently, our success rate is around 70%. While it requires significant time and effort, the result is a decorative brooch that combines the tactile feel of clay, the durability of pottery, the luster of glaze, and the sparkle of gold accents. We hope this piece brings you lasting joy.
