Hand-built stoneware side table with surface carving. The table is built upside down and the facets are created during construction. Once the clay has dried to leather-hard consistency, the facets are refined and surface carving is completed. The piece is coated with black glaze, and when dry enough to handle, the patterned decoration is etched in the surface using the technique known as sgraffito: carving through the glaze to reveal the white clay beneath. Each piece is unique and will vary. Suitable for outdoor use Outdoor temperature range: 0°-1000° F Matte finish Ceramic: fired at cone 6, vitrified Signed by the artist Materials: Stoneware Fabric & CareThis piece can be displayed outdoors year-round in mild climates only.
