Covered Butter Dish – Rustic Aqua Mist – French Country Home Decor – MADE TO ORDER by BackBayPottery

39,50 USD

A pretty butter dish for your kitchen table …

This beautiful dish is hand formed from dark red stoneware clay & glazed in my beautiful Aqua Mist. It is hand designed in my dot design with a special slip trailing technique. The texture beautifully breaks through the glaze to reveal the design.

As with all handmade pottery … every piece has its own unique handmade character and may have slightly different sizes, shapes and color variations. I never use molds and make each, one at a time. I always use lead free glaze & high fire in my kiln. All my dishes are food, dishwasher and microwave safe but hand washing is always recommended. Each piece is signed Back Bay Pottery and my initials.

Approximate Measurements:
3 3/4 & quot; tall (including the handle)
6 1/2 & quot; wide
1/4 & quot; deep plate

The inside dimensions of the lid is about 5.5 & quot; by 2 & quot ;, so it is big enough to eastern style butter stick (4.75 & quot; x 1.25 & quot;) or western (3.5 & quot; x 1.5 & quot;) style butter stick.

THIS IS FOR ONE (1) BUTTER DISH – SHIPS IN 2-3 WEEKS

* The last photo shows the butter dish in front of my larger cheese dish (that can also be used as a butter dish).

& gt; & gt; & gt; HOW CERAMICS ARE MADE & lt; & lt; & lt;

1.CLAY BODY IS FORMED
A potter can form his product in many ways. Two main ways are wheel throwing or hand building.
2.DRYING – 7-10 days. Clay must be left to completely dry before going into the kiln. If there is moisture left in the clay it may explode in the kiln. The clay shrinks as it dries.
3.SANDING – final finishing touches before firing
4.BISQUE FIRING- 24 hours. Ceramic pottery pieces are put in the kiln for the 1st firing. This is when the clay is turned into a stone. The kiln takes between 6-8 hours to reach about 1,900 degrees. It takes about 12 hours to cool.
5.GLAZING – Glaze can be applied in many ways, poured on, sponged on, painted on, dipped, and sprayed.
6.FIRING- 24 hours. The pottery pieces go in the kiln for their last firing. This time the kiln temperature reaches about 2200 degrees. The glaze turns into a glass like coating and becomes one with the ceramic piece.
