Dellarte Ceramiche Christmas ball with green background, hand-painted holly and red berries, 3.15 in.

This ceramic Christmas tree ball crafted by Dellarte Ceramiche epitomises the finest Italian artistic craftsmanship. The elegant design features an intricate pattern of vibrant green holly leaves and bright red berries on a light green background, all meticulously hand-painted and embellished with pure gold finishes that enhance the piece's luminosity and prestige. The creation process involves intricate steps starting from slip casting, where liquid clay is poured into gypsum molds to achieve the perfect form. After the initial firing at 1000°C, the ornament is adorned with non-toxic glazes and dipped in transparent crystal, followed by a second firing at 920°C. The final step includes the application of 10% pure gold, fixed through a third firing at 720°C, further enhancing the details.
