Description:
Thailand's master celadon ceramists craft an elegant horse figurine by hand.
To craft this statuette, the artisans firstly cast a clay mix inside a mould. Once solid enough, the piece is removed from the mould and engraved, carved and detailed by hand. When fully dried, it is then fired in the kiln at a temperature of about 800 degrees Celsius. Next, the piece is dipped in a glaze mix and left to dry. Once fully dried, it is fired again in the kiln at a temperature of about 1,300 degrees Celsius. The surface of this celadon horse statuette is glossy, light blue and highly crackled.
This figurine may vary slightly in colors, motifs, shape and weight. The exterior may also show some tiny flaws in the glaze.
