ABOUT THE WORK

Ceramic bookmark "Apple Slice" is a gift that symbolizes sharing and inspires a person to discover new knowledge. A meaningful gift for someone who loves books.

History

Ceramic bookmark | Apple slice. Did you know that the apple is one of the oldest symbols, associated with knowledge, sharing, and protection? Its round shape symbolizes the cycle of life, and when cut in half, it symbolizes the connection of two parts, the act of sharing.

The apple half, transformed into a ceramic bookmark, does not coincidentally combine these symbols. A book, as a source of knowledge and wisdom, is an integral part of the journey in which we discover ourselves and the world. This bookmark is like an invitation to pause, reflect, and share the experience gained with others.

Made from high-quality materials, the "Half of an Apple" bookmark is a sustainable, meaningful, and versatile gift for a book lover.

The elegant design, ready to be given as a gift, inspires pleasant moments with a book in your hands and symbolizes the search for new knowledge. Discover the beauty hidden in simplicity!

CARE OF CHAMOMILE SCULPTURES AND INTERIOR DECORATIVE ITEMS

Fine-grained chamotte sculptures, due to their often more porous, often unglazed surface, are more sensitive to abrasion, dirt absorption, and improper wet cleaning; the most important prevention: dry cleaning.

Precious metal lusters (gold, platinum, palladium, etc.) have a thin overglaze coating, fired at a lower temperature, and are therefore more vulnerable to abrasives and friction; it is recommended to maintain such decors gently, by hand, without scrubbing.

MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Chamotte is a high-temperature fired and crushed clay material that is mixed into the mass. It reduces drying/firing shrinkage, helps dry more evenly, and can increase resistance to thermal stresses (especially in larger-shaped items), but can also leave the surface with a more porous and "receptive" texture (especially if unglazed).

This maintenance is intended for fine-grained chamotte sculptures, interior decor items (often more massive forms), which may be unglazed or partially/glazed.

CLEANING

Dry cleaning (basic method): remove dust with a soft brush and „drive“ it into a vacuum cleaner with minimal suction. Do not use rough cloths - this increases the risk of scratches and fading of the decor.

Wet cleaning only exceptionally: „washing“ or soaking is not recommended – especially if there is porosity, old repairs or unclear condition. If it is necessary (e.g. sticky dirt), consult a specialist first.

Gilding/luster is a thin overglaze layer, easily damaged by abrasion and will wear away over time if not properly maintained.
