This helmer porcelain tea bowl was fired in a wood kiln. A polka dot style pattern was applied to the surface. The tea bowl has a white liner glaze and a clear glaze on the exterior. When the kiln reaches temperature, 2350°F and higher, the wood ash on the surface melts into a glaze and affects the applied glaze and slips. The fire facing side of this work has several wood ash drips.
I make each piece with love and care and therefore the pieces should be treated with love and care. Although the pieces are well crafted enough to withstand dishwashers and microwaves, I recommend hand washing to ensure the longest life for the piece. Like all hand made ware, intense thermal differences can result in damage. Cold pieces should be gently pre-warmed with tepid water before filling with boiling hot water. All clay and glazes used are lead-free and are safe for food use.
