Oak Leaf and Acorn Ceramic Jewelry Dish, Colorful Fall Leaves with Gold Accent
Acorns and oak leaves have long been powerful symbols of strength, rebirth, and renewal. As the oak leaves change color and fall, the mighty tree prepares for renewal. As the tiny acorns fall to the ground, they promise new life and hope. Oak leaves have long adorned the crowns of various rulers, representing strength, longevity, and power. This jewelry is inspired by the incredible beauty of these leaves and the intricate detail of small acorns. Each painted scene captures a moment in autumn. Rings, jewelry, trinkets, or incense cones can be placed in this holder.
This ceramic leaf dish is made from smooth porcelain-like stoneware clay, dried, bisque fired, glazed, and high-fired once more at approximately 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. The glazed finish is a soft satin gloss over the vibrant colors of the leaf. 22kt real gold is applied to the rim and the piece is then fired a third time to bond the gold.
This jewelry holder is handmade from start to finish, entirely by me in my California studio, a labor of love that I hope will spark joy in your home.
Measurements: Approximately 5 inches wide
Slight variations and organic shapes in handcrafted ceramics are what make them perfectly unique pieces of art. Each leaf is an individual painting and they will all vary like actual autumn leaves.
