Small Ceramic Box by SquealWithDelight on Etsy
Small Ceramic Box by SquealWithDelight on Etsy
Small, Porcelain Ceramic Box #15
1.75" long / 1.375" wide / 1.375" tall
Created in Spring of 2010
This unique little box was hand-formed using a porcelain clay body. First, I formed a solid rectangle out of the clay and let it stiffen a little; then, I hollowed out the box with a wire tool. The clay which was carved from the inside of the box was then shaped into the lid. The box was then bisqued, rubbed with a copper carbonate wash, and finally low fired to cone 04. The porcelain maintains it's beautiful, pure white and the fired copper carbonate goes from light brown to black, matte to metallic. It is stamped with the number 15 in the corner of the lid.

Small Ceramic Box by SquealWithDelight on Etsy
Listed another Small Ceramic Box today on my Things to Make you Squeal with Delight Etsy store. This unique little box was hand-formed using a porcelain clay body. First, I formed a solid rectangle out of the clay and let it stiffen a little; then, I hollowed out the box with a wire tool. The clay which was carved out of the inside of the box was then shaped into the lid. The box was then bisqued, rubbed with a red iron oxide wash, and finally low fired to cone 04. The whole box is covered in red iron oxide and rubbed almost away in some places giving the box an aged, used look with a watercolor-type-effect. The color ranges from pale red (where thin) to a deep rusty red (where thick). It is stamped with the number 50 in the corner of the lid.

So a new addition to my shop is a line of ceramic ware that I made last year. I have about 15 of these ceramic boxes left of the 20 I made for a piece called Compartmentalization. Here's a picture!
I will be selling these boxes separately for $10 each.
And to top it off, as I have learned is the best practice on Etsy, I will not be listing them all at the exact same time! I will either list one or two in a day at peek hours (times when people are out of work). A bit of advice, when listing a couple items a day, do one of the following:
~List them an hour or more apart or
~You could list two items one right after another if they are going to be put into two different categories (ie one in ceramics, the other in jewelry).
