This is a papillon dog bowl that is hand painted. It could be used for a plant or to put trinkets in. It is hand painted on the outside & the inside glazed in a mottled brown tone. This style of animal is made from a slab of clay & then folded up to form the sides. When it is barely dry enough to handle, I alter it to form the body, shaping the feet by pushing the clay inward at the bottom. Some pieces have underglaze added for detail & are clear glazed while others just get coated in colored glaze. I like them to be whimsical & fun so I tend to play loose with shapes & colors. No one piece is ever exactly like the next, so they are all original & one of a kind. I believe in recycling all of my packaging materials as to save on waste. What is inside the box is really pretty but the outside might be a box & packing paper I have received from someone else. I try & double box all of my pieces as much as possible for protection so they will also be heavier than normal. Since everything I create is one of a kind, I try & keep it as safe as I can while it is traveling to its new home. Import duties & other charges are not included in the shipping cost.
