Hand-Painted Sky Blue Ceramic Christmas Ball Holly Branch, 10 cm Dellarte Ceramics. This hand-painted sky blue ceramic Christmas ball from Dellarte Ceramics features a classic round shape adorned with delicate fir branches, bright green holly leaves, and small red berries harmoniously distributed on a light celestial background. Hand-applied golden outlines discreetly illuminate each element, reminiscent of winter's purity and festive ambiance. Created through entirely artisanal craftsmanship, starting from slip, a fluid clay mixture poured into plaster molds to achieve the spherical shape. After drying, the ball undergoes the initial firing at 1000°C to achieve the biscuit stage. Subsequently, it is meticulously hand-decorated with lead-free, non-toxic glazes, safe for both health and the environment. The ornament is then immersed in crystalline glaze for brilliance and color protection, followed by firing at 920°C to fix the decoration. Finally, enriched with details in 10% pure gold leaf, set with a third firing at 720°C, resulting in a luminous and precious surface. An authentically Italian product crafted by a historic Lucca-based company established in 1900, specializing in hand-decorated Christmas ceramics. Made in Italy.
