Red iron oxide stain is painted on handle and top of pouch  and then wiped off to highlight the texture made by pressing  lace patterns onto the clay. Inside of the pouch and bottom are glazed in my turquoise semi- matte glaze. Fired to cone 6 in oxidation and mounted on painted wood that is wired on the back to hang on the wall like a painting. Can hold water to display fresh flowers.
