Sgrafitto Porcelain Wall Box by Dawn Dalto

This wall box is part of my arch/shrine series. It alludes to trees, nature, the evolving circle of our life and those things that we find important or pray to. It is porcelain, pattern is carved through black underglaze in a technique called Sgraffito. These boxes look marvelous in groupings of 2 or more.

 

sgraf·fi·to (skră-fē'tō, zgrä-) Decoration produced on pottery or ceramic by scratching through a surface of plaster or glazing to reveal a different color underneath. Ware decorated in this manner.
