The Thimble Dapple pendant is handcrafted using a marbling technique. Each shade is made to order with two or more chosen colours, which are swirled into a plaster mould before the final layer of porcelain is applied. This lively light piece will introduce to any room that personalised individual touch, with a choice of eleven colours and five fitting finishes – see OPTIONS below.
Each one is made to order in our workshop using Parian slip, which is a remarkable material originally developed to emulate marble. It is beautifully translucent with a self-glazing, smooth satin matt finish. A highly fritted porcelain, it was created in the 1840s and became especially popular during the Victorian era for slip-cast figurines and sculptural busts. Its name derives from its resemblance to the fine-grained white marble quarried on the Greek island of Paros.
NB. Colours used in the main image are Coral and Eggplant.
