Highly polished sterling silver setting with teapot silhouette pierced out. I used quite thin sheet metal for the plate as to be able to manipulate it (by hand) to the contours of the pottery so that it is well supported in the setting.
I made the claws and the bale to mimic the pattern style of the porcelain. I think they feel quite dream-like, as if to create the feeling of being in a memory or transported to another time.
The front view with the highly polished claws. I was unsure about the use of highly polished silver in contrast to the old aesthetic of the pottery.
