Unique Gift for Wedding, Anniversary, Retirement, or Any Special Occasion




Lace Tray made with handmade Italian 
Wedding Lace




When I first started working with clay I had some "big" ideas about projects I wanted to try.  This tray was one of them.  It is a favorite piece for me to create and I am always surprised with the results.  These trays are made by impressing wedding lace and then individually glazing each and every petal.   They are wonderful as a wedding gift, anniversary present, retirement, or just to have and to enjoy.


These are wonderful for any season.  I have created this in fall these, spring, summer, and even in winter shades using wonderful pastels.


It takes me about 2 hours to glaze a single tray.  Some of my pottery friends think I am "nuts" to make these, but I just keep making them.  I love how the lace appears after the final firing.


 Yes, these are not your average pottery run.  There are normally an average of 4 runs per tray to achieve the final result.
