Deep blue tea box on red clay - braiding pattern

A regular and symmetrical pattern, a game of pyramids and stars, mountains and valleys... an origami game.

This box was turned then stamped by hand, each pattern requires 9 applications of 4 or 5 different tools. The outer surface of this box is partially glazed to leave the patterns created bare, giving an impression of braiding under the glaze, a mixture of methods and materials. A unique piece for the moment.

This clay is fired at low temperature (1070°C) and closed perfectly during the two successive firings. This box is completely glazed on the inside and is suitable for food use (eg tea, sugar, etc.)
