Pohutukawa Lamp

October 16th, 2009

The Pohutukawa is the icon of a Kiwi summer, and is also known as the New Zealand Christmas Tree.

These lamps are designed and carved by hand, and then the holes are pierced while still in a wet (’leather-hard’).  After drying, they are fired and multiple coats of the various glazes are applied with a technique called ‘glaze-butting’.  The silver edges of the leaves are picked out with a white gold overglaze.

This piece has an easily removable lamp fitting.
