Description
We were immediately drawn to Samantha Bartlett's playful salt-fired flower bricks, which were historically known to be one of the most popular vessels for floral arrangements in the 18th century. Samantha uses porcelain clay and flashing slips to create nature-inspired designs which are fired in a salt kiln to cone 10. Each piece is fired to high temperatures, while salt is introduced to produce a vapor that glazes the ware. Each flower brick is unique to each firing and environment creating a truly one of a kind colorway varying in shades of grey, orange and brown.
- 10 holes for flower arrangements
- One piece
- Approximately 9" L x 4"-4.5" W x 4.5" H
- Each piece will be one of a kind; expect subtle differences in color, height, and size.
- If you have any questions about this product or its variation, please feel free to reach out to us via email at store@philamuseum.org. We cannot guarantee that the flower brick you receive will look exactly the same as the photographed piece - and that's the beauty of it!
