Waterlily Turtle Box

Wheel thrown hand carved and hand sculpted flora/fauna motifs. Airbrushed matte underglazes glazes fired to maturity in an oxidation kiln. Sculptural yet functional, this box can be useful as a container for precious items. Consider the turtle, symbol of Motherhood, longevity, a creature of both land and the water. Sometimes known as the keeper of doors, the turtle is often seen as a sign of fairy contact and the promise of fairy rewards. Signed and dated.
