This white porcelain sculpture, thrown on a potter’s wheel, is decorated with porcelain flowers and leaves painstakingly created and applied by hand. Each sprig is shaped in a mould, hand-carved and finally finished with fine brushes, making each aspect of this sculptural piece unique. These highly detailed porcelain flowers and leaves appear to be growing from the top of the sculpture, over the exterior and spilling into the beautifully intricate interior.
