Tiny Trinket dish (Cherry Blossoms)

Need just a little something to put some rings in, or some earrings, or a small change dish? Trinkets? Baubles? Shiny things your personal murder of crows brought you? These little cuties are good for anything, and they come in a variety of shapes. Dimensions Approximate Size: 3x3 inches (oval is almost 4 inches long) Approximate Weight: 5 ounces A note on care These dishes are glazed with non-toxic glazes, and can be washed with hot soapy water or run through the dishwasher. I don't know why you might need to microwave anything on something this small, but let's talk about it! While I have been known to put my own ceramics in the microwave, I don't officially recommend it -- the rapid change in temperature can cause the glaze to cool more quickly than the ceramic, which retains heat more than the glaze does, and so shrinks at a slower rate. This can occasionally call what is called "crazing" - small cracks in the glaze. This can happen immediately or even years later, and personally I've seen it happen on many of the commercial pieces I own that I put in the microwave often. About HaldeCraft HaldeCraft began with ceramics, soap, and yarn. I've been making ceramics since I was four years old, learning at the feet of my grandmother who had a home studio in the 50s and 60s. Currently I make slip-cast, hand-built, or wheel-thrown pieces (or a combination of all three) and then are painted and glazed and put through multiple kiln firings before being put out into the world. The yarn started life in 2007 in a small yarn store in Gainesville, Florida (Hanks Yarn and Fiber) and was then called "Perhaps Today is a Good Day to Dye". It has continued online as HaldeCraft HandDyed since 2011, and is hand-dyed and lovingly re-skeined in a small home studio by someone who loves the fiber arts just as much as you do. Making soap was a hobby that I had for years, and I started making soap for the yarn store, and continued when starting HaldeCraft. Lately I've picked up laser engraving, taking my craft to a whole new level. My pieces are unique, hand painted, and proudly made in my own home studio with confidence, mindfulness, and joy. Everything at HaldeCraft is created by hand, by me, in order to joyfully connect with you!
