| 5. White Duck 304x304mm Tile panel in which the serene, calm countenance of the white duck is seen in an idyllic landscape of soft green hills and cool blue pond; this is a 'tubelined' tile-panel, a fine line of clay giving a slight relief texture to each tile; it is hand-painted using underglaze ceramic colours and a transparent glaze. This design can be varied to cover a larger panel, including ducklings perhaps, while the border can be hand-painted to co-ordinate with other colours. |
