Production Technology

It is produced by casting liquid mud into a plaster mold. It was baked in an electric oven at 1230 degrees. All raw materials used are harmless to human health and are suitable for food contact and dishwasher use.

Design Challenge

The porcelain I use in production shrinks by a total of 20% when it reaches its final state after firing. This high shrunken one is the most challenging step for the swan I produced with the mould. It is very difficult to take the dried product out of the mold and dry it without cracking by calculating its shrinkage after casting, it requires special, sensitivity and attention.

Research

The mouth design was made at a certain angle to prevent leakage from your mouth during use. The neck diameter was designed with special calculations to ensure that the jug, especially for beverages such as wine, can be ventilated correctly when emptied into the drinker. It has an angle that supports the handle not being folded by hand. By heating or cooling the porcelain, it makes it easier to serve the drink for a long time by keeping it at the right temperature.

Inspiration

Classically used sirahs or carafes and goblets are produced with glass. It was produced to create an alternative to porcelain and at the same time to add a decorative and artistic touch with the high production taste of the craftsman.

Slender and long-necked swans represent love. The outlines are inspired by the swan.

Project Duration

The project duration is eight months. I started in November 2023 and completed the final version in May 2024. The design was designed and produced in Monte Porcelain Ayvalık workshop.

Operation Flow

The design was colored considering the suitability of white porcelain, also called bone porcelain, for food contact. It was cast in a plaster mold with liquid mud, and firefly patterns were engraved on the glasses with a special technique. Since firefly patterns are filled with glaze, they do not leak liquid and allow light to play. The nature used in this entire process was treated fairly and no living creature was harmed.
