Description:
An elephant calf quenches its thirst in a celadon blue pool. Thailand’s celadon ceramists craft this lovely ceramic container by hand.
To craft this container, 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 container is glossy, blue and highly crackled.
This container may vary slightly in colors, motifs, shape and weight. The exterior may also show some tiny flaws in the glaze.
