This sea shell vase was 'tailored' from a single slab of porcelain, folded and joined into shape.  There are three embroidered sea shells which have been overpainted with cobalt to give a rich blue finish and the rim is finished with a real gold ceramic lustre.  The vase is 13cm and the base is 13cm wide by 6.5cm deep.  The interior is glazed and the vase is fully functional.
