Bali Flowers, Dish

Made in villages on the island of Lombak since the 16th century, potters create these pieces using the traditional firing method of burying the pots in the ground, surrounded by coconut husk and burning the husks to fire the pots.  Before firing, the pots are burnished...painted with a mixture of fine clay, water and oil, then rubbed with a smooth stone or hard object.  Burnishing compacts and strengthens the pot's surface, and creates a sheen that enhances the colors and marks created by firing.  They are then hand etched...this one in a delicate floral design with a rattan braiding, to achieve a stunning effect.
