Digital photograph on fine bone china with a paper looking texture - ''Prive''
Handmade stoneware fine bone china hand rolled in order to make it look like thick paper with a digital image printed with high temperature ceramics.
Handmade stoneware fine bone china is been fired 2 times and is very thin and translucent.
Made with high temperature resistant inks which have been fired to a very high temperature in a kiln to around 1550 to 1600 degrees F. The colours melt and fuse with the bone china which makes them last forever.
The actual image on the bone china is permanent.
Highly resistant to chemicals, paints, wear and tear as well as sunlight. In fact, they will never fade, and the only way to damage the image is to damage the bone china.
The high temperature matures the colours and melts and fuses the colours to the ware for permanence.
The size of the frame is 20cm by 20 cm.
Any imperfections which may occur are because they are handmade and when you work with such delicate and thin material factory perfection cannot be achieved.
*Because of the nature of my work and the material i use it is very unlikely that further copies of this item will be produced in the future.*
Bone China is porcelaneous body that contains calcium carbonate. This gives the ware strength and whitens it. One difference between porcelain and bone china is the whiteness of bone china.True bone china is almost snow-white. Another is the translucence of bone china: holding it to a light with your hand behind the china should reveal the shadow of your hand. Porcelain will not do so. Bone china was invented in England in the late eighteenth century, and was apparently superior in strength, translucency, thinness, and whiteness to the porcelain then being produced in Europe.If you compare bone china with all other types of porcelain you will notice the difference immediately. The body of most porcelain has an off-white greyish cast, except for some American china which is ivory colored. True bone china is almost snow-white. Bone China is far more expensive than porcelain as it has superior qualities mentioned above.
