NABILA Elevated Ceramic Bowl by Shelley Maisel

This exquisite hand painted, hand formed ceramic decorative vase embodies the artistic expression of primitive African cultures. 

The perfect piece to add to your living or dining area. 

These vessels are hand formed using the same technique adopted by these cultures, namely coiling and pinching.  In the coiling method, pieces of clay are rolled into long, thin ropes. These ropes are joined together during the assembly process, with the aid of slip (a clay and water mixture) painted onto the upper edges of the coils. The pinch method is the simplest clay hand-building technique, involving only the use of hands to wedge a ball of clay and mould it into the required shape.

Made in Cape Town, South Africa. 

Please allow for slight variances as each piece is hand made.
