A Delicate Touch

It is one thing to be able to mold a vase from a mound of clay turning on a wheel...it is another to be able to recreate a rose.

I marveled at this...though yet unfinished...vase with the rose accents. I can't imagine the intricate molding and light touch it must have taken to be able to craft the petals so delicate. I only wish I could have seen it once finished...in my mind eye it is a beautiful work of art.

It is beautiful Dan and does require a delicate touch.
My Mother worked for at small pottery business for many years, she made roses, delicate buds, leaves and all kind of flowers.
They were glazed with colours before baking in the kiln.

How delicate and pretty, the flowers remind me of Capodimonte.
