ceramic brooch "Bird on Cherry Blossom"

Ceramic brooch with a bird on a cherry tree

Adorn yourself with our larch and cherry blossoms!

• I painted a blue bird on a blooming cherry tree on the ceramic brooch.
• My inspiration was a 19th-century Japanese wood painting, which is in the collections of the National Gallery in Prague.
  
• The depiction of various birds is a very popular motif in Japanese painting.

About ceramic jewelry:

• The diameter of the ceramic ornament is 35 mm
• All ceramic components were handmade according to my design in a family pottery workshop in Bořice near Domažlice.
• I hand-painted the motif on the brooch with ceramic paints that were fired at 160 °C.
  
• Thanks to heat fixation, the colors are waterproof, so it doesn't matter if you get caught in the rain with the brooch on your coat.
  
• The colors are also scratch-resistant with normal use (but it's better to avoid scouring pads for cleaning :))
• The brooch pin is made of surgical steel and has a safety clasp.
• The jewelry is packaged in a gift box.

About painting on jewelry:

• I hand-paint on jewelry, so each product is unique.
• The resulting image may differ slightly from the photo.
• I paint with special glass and porcelain paints, which are very durable after heat fixation.

About the "Bird on a Cherry Tree" collection:

• The collection is inspired by 19th-century Japanese wood painting, which is in the Asian collections of the National Gallery in Prague.
• In this collection, you will find porcelain, glass, textiles, jewelry, and small paper items.
• I would be happy to paint this motif on another mug or anything else for you.
