A simple “whatever” encapsulates such cutting and dismissiveness that it cuts to the bone. It can also be really funny.

I handmade this ring dish from a pale stoneware. After slab rolling and forming the shape, I handpainted the lady with colorful underglaze. She was then bisque fired, glazed, fired a second time to cone 6, and lastly adorned with 22k gold luster details before a third and final firing.

She measures 3.5” x 3.5”, and is signed on the back.
