The Golden Hydrangea Vessel is wheel-thrown in white mid-fire clay and finished with detailed, hand-rendered hydrangea illustration. The piece undergoes multiple firings, with a gold lustre layer applied in a third firing to achieve a reflective metallic surface. The process emphasises precision in linework, controlled glazing, and careful temperature management to preserve clarity and contrast.
