Christmas Tree Jewelry Dish with Gold, Sparkling Holiday Evergreen Ceramic Dish
Trees that remain green through winter have long had a special significance to people throughout the world. In ancient times, even before the advent of Christianity, evergreen branches and boughs were hung in the home to ward away illness and evil spirits. During the dark months of winter, filling the house with evergreens symbolized the strength and triumph of life. Today, Christmas trees fill homes with so much light and beauty and cheer during the winter and it's a season I really look forward to every year.
Here is a dish that captures a bit of the color and sparkle of a decorated tree - this "tree" is actually imprinted from a real fern frond which I thought worked perfectly as a miniature Christmas tree. The ceramic piece is handpainted and kiln-fired to over 2200F. The gold sparkles are real 22kt gold.
Measurements: Approximately 5 inches wide
Slight variations and organic shapes in handcrafted ceramics are what make them perfectly unique pieces of art.
