Hand-Glazed Ceramic Braided Raised Bowl

Hand-Glazed Ceramic Braided Raised BowlMaison Pichon Uzs has many signatures, but braided bowls and baskets are the most iconic. Craftspeople utilise the corbeille technique to form the clay into soft coils that are woven by hand and reinforced with small flowers or buttons. A week of drying is followed by an underglaze, bisque fire, lead based glaze and second firing. The process is meticulous and controlled, taking up to a month to reach the work of art you see here.
