Ceramic Brooch Enticing Milk Ice Cream

I used to work part-time at an ice cream shop. When I scooped the ice cream, it would often overflow significantly, which customers loved... Size: Approx. 40mm (height) x 20mm (width) Material: Ceramic *The photos show the actual item to be delivered (the top photo is a conceptual image). *We may change materials for subsequent restocks. ‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥ About the Production Process Based on a sketch, the clay is molded, slightly dried, and refined repeatedly. I work on pieces for about a month to gather enough quantity to fill the kiln evenly. The bisque firing takes 7 hours, after which the pieces are removed, wiped with water, individually glazed, and then undergo the main firing for 12 hours. Some pieces are treated with gold glaze and fired again for 7 hours. Since the ceramics need to cool slowly, we wait about two days after each firing before removing them from the kiln. Then, each piece is carefully inspected, and a pin is attached to those that meet quality standards. Currently, the success rate is about 70%. Although this process requires a long time and effort, the result is a decorative brooch that combines the texture of the clay, the strength of the ceramic, the luster of the glaze, and the sparkle of the gold (where applied). We believe this is an item that can be used for a long time without fading.
