{"product_id":"gate-stoneware-ornament-blue","title":"Gate Stoneware Ornament - Blue","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Gate ornament is a stoneware arch, 20cm tall, rising from two feet and curving over an open centre. The two sides are not straight: each one kinks and sways as it rises, so the opening between them has a wavy, almost hand-drawn outline rather than a neat doorway shape. A glaze speckled with blue covers the piece, the flecks densest across the top of the arch and scattering more thinly as they run toward the feet. It is made entirely of stoneware and weighs 0.532KG, so it has real heft for its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 13.5cm long, 6cm wide and 20cm tall, it suits the places where a vase or a framed print would crowd things: the corner of a desk, the top of a stack of books, a bedside table or the tier of a side trolley. Being only 6cm wide, it fits a narrow mantelpiece or windowsill where little else will. It works as a piece on its own, giving a study or living room a quiet point of interest, and it sits comfortably beside glass vases, candle holders and other ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStoneware is fired at a high temperature, which gives it a dense, solid body. The glaze is what gives each one its character: the maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the depth of blue and the spread of the speckle can differ a little from piece to piece. Set it slightly off centre on a shelf with a little space around it, so the open arch frames a glimpse of the wall, or pair it with a tall vase so the two heights play against each other. The styling props shown are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDue to nature of the glaze colour variations may occur\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.532KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Gate ornament?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made entirely of stoneware, a dense clay body fired at a high temperature, and it is finished with a speckled blue glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 13.5cm long, 6cm wide and 20cm tall, and it weighs 0.532KG, so it fits a desk, a bookshelf or a narrow mantelpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs every piece identical?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot exactly.
