Porcelain bowl decorated with water lilies and fish, unique piece, signed Simone Perrotte.
All of Simone Perrotte's pieces are shaped and decorated by hand and fired in her workshop.
These are all unique works; their creation process is slow and meticulous, it takes several weeks to produce a set of pieces.
The porcelain paste is modeled (bowls), thrown (vases), or stamped by hand (dishes), depending on the shape, then dried for a minimum of one week.
The black decorations (fish, trees) are engraved on raw porcelain, then the piece is fired for the first time at 960°C
The colored engobes are then applied with a brush, and the piece is fired again at 700°C to fix the decoration.
Then a transparent satin glaze is applied by dipping and the piece is fired at 1280°C, this is the 'grand-feu'.
Finally, platinum and gold (yellow or rose) are painted and fired at a low temperature of 780°C.
Sometimes more cooking is done over a low flame, for example in the case of overlapping or certain juxtapositions.
