Original Design by Grace M. Smith
Handmade
Ceramic Treat Jar
with Two Black & White Cats and the words "Cat Treats"
It was made in a plaster mold using ceramic slip (liquid clay). As the plaster removes water from the slip, the piece firms up enough to be removed from the mold. It takes several days to a week to dry and then the piece is cleaned and the design is drawn on in pencil. Using underglazes, the design is then painted with translucent colors and fired in a kiln. After it cools, usually 24 hours, it is glazed inside and out with a clear lead-free glaze and refired in the kiln. It is dishwasher safe.
