Small Blue Heron Bowl

Now Available! Shop Now at MyAmericanCrafts for a Blue Heron Bowl handcrafted by Jen Stein Studio.

An exquisitely carved pattern of deeply carved blue and white herons stand majestically or fly over brown cattails forming a lovely wetland scene on this impressive bowl. The cream background further highlights the colors of the grasses. A soft  glaze centers the bowl and adorns the outside edges as well.

Beautiful gift for nature and bird lovers!

This wheel thrown, functional work of ceramic art is created by impressing bas-relief images into the edge or lip of the bowl or vases. The images, called "roulettes"  are hand carved on separate sections on porcelain. The sculpting of a roulette is done in reverse: all surfaces meant to protrude must be carved deep into the clay, and the left and right sides of the image must be flipped. Various stains and glazes are applied to high light the details and the piece is then fired.

Food safe and ready to be enjoyed; a great gift for sailors!

Measures approx. 9" in diameter X 3" high.
