Translucent Bowl

This translucent bowl is made from slip-cast Limoges porcelain, reduction-fired in a gas kiln at 1330°C. The slip is left in the plaster mould for one to two minutes, resulting in a 2mm-thick wall. The parabola-shaped bowl is then worked on a potter's wheel, where it is given its final texture. It has been left unglazed, allowing the pure natural white colour of the porcelain to shine through.
