Pottery Brooch: Dahlia

The flower language for white dahlias is said to be "gratitude." Its simple design makes it suitable for layering or as a gift to express thanks. The new color, Aofuji (blue wisteria), features a clean and sophisticated look with a white clay border. Size: Approx. H 35 x W 35mm Material: Pottery *The actual item you will receive is shown in photos 3-7. *Materials may be changed during resale. .............................................. About the Production Process: Starting with a sketch, clay is shaped, then dried slightly and refined multiple times. We carefully fill the kiln with the right amount, a process that takes about a month. Bisque firing takes 7 hours. After removal, each piece is wiped with water, individually glazed, and then undergoes final firing for 12 hours. Some pieces receive a gold glaze and are fired again for 7 hours. Due to the need for slow cooling, we wait about 2 days after each firing before removing the items from the kiln. Finally, each piece is inspected, and pins are attached. Currently, our success rate is around 70%. This process requires significant time and effort, but the result is a decorative brooch that combines the tactile feel of clay, the durability of pottery, the luster of glaze, and the sparkle of gold accents. We believe this is a piece that can be cherished for a long time, just as it is.
