Florentine-Cobalt Porcelain Cup

Weiser first porcelain cup

This was one of the cups I threw with my share of the batch of porcelain that some of our classmates mixed up.  I had some of Kurt Weiser’s cobalt underglaze that Bridget Harper (my ceramics teacher and friend) cadged for me.  I’ve done underglaze or stain on porcelain many, many times. This is a design based off of some wrapping paper I got from a stationary store years ago. I’ve done another piece with this type of design, using a sgraffito technique, but the two look very dissimilar.
