Christmas Tree Ball Ceramic Sky Blue Background and Holly, 8 cm Dellarte Ceramics. Round ceramic Christmas tree ball ornament with a sky blue background and holly, 8 cm Dellarte Ceramics. Handcrafted Christmas tree ornament with a simple and luminous design. Against the winter sky blue background, stylized pine branches, vibrant green holly leaves, and shiny red berries stand out. The precise application of gold outlines adds a sparkling touch that enriches the entire ball. Created through a completely artisanal process: clay is molded into slip form, poured into plaster molds shaping it. Once dry, the ball is fired at 1000°C for the initial ceramic base. Subsequently hand-painted with glossy, lead-free, and non-toxic enamels. The ball is then dipped in a clear crystalline glaze for brilliance and protection of the decoration. A second firing at 920°C follows. Finally, the golden details are hand-drawn using 10% pure gold, fixed with a third firing at 720°C. This tree ornament is made in Italy by a company specializing in artistic Christmas ceramics. Made in Italy.
