This little waterlily dish is glazed with one of my favourite glazes, and broken glass from an old wine bottle was placed in the bottom before it was fired. This melted in the kiln and then solidified to form a smooth bottom to the bowl with cracks beneath the surface that sparkle when they catch the light.
This bowl is the perfect holder for a little tea light or votive candle, as when you place a candle inside, pretty elongated shadows are cast by the petals. It would also make a fantastic guest soap dish, or keep it in the bedroom, bathroom or kitchen to put jewelry in. The glaze inside this dish is so special that you'll probably want to keep it empty!
It was formed by hand, by me, from a single piece of clay. Its delicate shape is given strength by my use of a very strong, textured, white clay, which I fired to stoneware temperature. I didn't glaze the outside, because I wanted the natural beauty of the clay to shine through and create a contrast.

It measures approx 3.5 inches diameter, height 1.25 inches
(9 x 3cm)

Please note, this listing is for one waterlily. I made a few of these, and each is unique because of the handmade process. Yours may vary very slightly from the one pictured, but it will be very similar!
