Description
Story Bowls are just as the name suggests, bowls with a story. Annemiek made her first Story Bowl in 2001 and has made dozens since – She is very proud to have contributed to the private collections of owners all over the world. Whether you purchase a ready to ship bowl or commission a custom piece, Story Bowls are always one of a kind – no two are alike. All Story Bowls come in a luxurious fair trade, felt lined gift box, making them the perfect gift for someone special or yourself.
Have a story, your story, a life event, fictional story or tale or a news event captured in a bowl in Annemiek’s typical whimsical style. How does that work? Puchase this item; this is a small bowl with a maximum of 5 animals or objects. Annemiek will contact you once you purchased this item to hear the story. Sometimes she will sketch an idea first, often she starts straight away in porcelain clay. She will update you with pictures and adjustments can be made as long as the bowl isn’t fired.
{PORCELAIN} Each piece is hand crafted by Annemiek from porcelain clay, known for its exceptional strength and translucency. This strength allows for delicate, thin designs. Porcelain requires a high firing temperatures. I fire my pieces at least twice: one at a low temperature before applying glazes, and a second at high temperature for translucency and glazing. Third firings are for decals/transfers or gold lustre. Natural porcelain is white, but pigments or stains can be added for colour, which permeates the entire piece. Glaze is applied only to the surface.
{CLEANING} Dust carefully. If need be soak in warm soapy water, rinse and dry well.
{SHIPPING} All items come gift wrapped, in this case in the gift box as pictured. This gift will go in to a box with bubble wrap or other protective material for shipping. These are much recycled boxes, wrap as possible, to save the environment and on shipping costs.
