Description

The "Flamingo" is part of a limited edition of 75*. The edition number and my name is scribed into the glaze. I modeled the Flamingo in clay and molded it twice to achieve a refined and detailed finish. I poured it in ceramic slip, then fired it to a temperature of 1945 degrees. Red glaze was applied for a second firing to a temperature of 1828 degrees. For fun and frivolity I added gold dots in oil paint. I have spent years trying to perfect the process of achieving a sleek and flawless surface of the glaze. I believe I have come as close as I can get, although my quest for perfection will be ongoing. For me the Flamingo shows the pure form of movement and grace. The Flamingo is 12” tall and 7” wide. Designed and hand made by me, Elke * The edition number includes the total of all colored glazed and uniquely embellished pieces.
