GECKO - GRAPE, HANDSTAND

If you want additional views, check out my Instagram highlights for video clips of available pieces. Description: These fat-tailed geckos were a labor of love, but each was worth the time because they're so stinkin cute and they feel so good to hold.  Nice and heavy and so much texture.  This piece was made from kiln-fired porcelain clay.  Because I apply glaze to the entire piece, kiln stilts are required to ensure it the glaze does not run onto the kiln shelves while reaching the appropriate (very high heat) temperature. As a result, most pieces will have marks, typically on the bottom. This is just part of the process and is not a flaw, I consider it a birthmark that has been fired into them while they transform from something temporary to their permanent form. However, I do sand down sharp points so that the marks don't take away from the piece's beauty. I do not use molds and each item in my shop is a One Of A Kind (OOAK) This item not a toy and should be handled as any other breakable object you own, fine China, if you will. Side note, just FYI, I use all lead free and food safe materials when making my works. Still though, don't put any of these pieces in your mouth. If you have any questions, please send me a convo and I will gladly provide answers to the best of my ability. Also, I combine shipping for multiple pieces that are shipped together and will refund any S/H overages. I also will foot the extra if I didn't estimate enough.
