Description:
Thailand’s celadon ceramists hand-craft this lidded box. They paint bamboo and birds motifs on the lid by hand
To craft this box, the artisans firstly cast a clay mix inside a mould. Once solid enough, the piece is removed from the mould 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 hand-painted and dipped in a glaze mix before to be 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 box is glossy, green and highly crackled.
This box may vary slightly in colors, motifs, shape and weight. The exterior may also show some tiny flaws in the glaze.
