 is a coiled piece made from white St Thomas clay which stands approximately 9cm high x 18cm in diameter. It is carved with applied ceramic cherubs, made separately in a handmade press mould and attached to the work with slip. The piece has then been indented with pattern and fired to 1160c.  Coloured glaze has been rubbed into the carving and wiped away, as well as being painted on to the surface area before being fired to 1080c.  Enamels and lustres have then been applied to some areas of the outside, inside and base, to give more definition then fired again to 800c.  A final layer of paint has been added and heated to a temperature of 150c to add metallic colours.  When the glazing process has been completed, coloured, electrical wire, copper wire and ribbons with bells on, which move freely, have been threaded through pierced areas of the dish. Finally tiny yellow gems have been glued to the surface.  Visually much more interesting when viewed from above, it sits on three hearts and is signed and dated by the artist. October 2005.
