Seashell Opaline 7

✨ This piece is a part of the Seashell Opaline Collection made with my own in-glaze luster formulation ✨

Approximately 3.75"x3.5"

☾ Every shell begins with a plaster mold that I've personally made from real seashells. But the real magic happens in the glaze. The in-glaze luster process is very technical, uncommon, unpredictable, and completely magical. It takes between 3-5 firings to achieve. Unlike traditional overglaze gold lusters that sit on the surface (like my gold splatters!), in-glaze lusters are integrated directly into the glaze itself creating a metallic finish. Over the past three years, I've been researching, testing, and experimenting with countless glaze combinations. There have been plenty of failures along the way, but the few magical results I've achieved are so special and I have decided to finally share a small batch of these shells to the world! 

The results are these beautiful, luminous ceramic shells! What makes this collection especially meaningful to me is that the glaze is my own custom formulation that I've developed, refined, and perfected over years of experimentation. These aren't finishes you can simply buy off the shelf. Every detail has been thoughtfully developed in my studio, making these pieces unlike anything else I've created.

I'm incredibly proud of these little treasures, and I hope you love them as much as I loved creating them.

Meets food safety standards. Lustre finish is delicate and may scratch with use. Please handle with care. ☾
