Honey Jar with Peonies & Bees

Designed, hand crafted and hand painted ceramic honey jar with blush pink peonies and fuzzy bee design. Only one honey jar available with these dimensions.

Peonies are my favourite flower and I look forward to the showy blooms all year! I designed these illustrations using Procreate on an iPad and then used a somewhat complex process and a vinyl cutting machine to adapt the designs to ceramic. I threw the honey jar and matching lid on the wheel using speckled stoneware clay, let it dry, and then bisque fired both pieces. I added my two dimensional design to this curvy pot with a few challenges but I adapted the design and painted three coats of underglaze in multiple stages, carefully adding and refining the black lines after I added the colour. I bisque fired the honey jar again to permanently apply the underglaze and then glaze fired the pot with a glossy clear glaze. This honey jar required hours and hours of work and I hope you love the final result as much as I do.
