(this costs about $23 a gallon.) when they're pulled from molds, which can make about 1-2 jars a day, they're trimmed and finished off. then, fired in a kiln to a temp of 1818. once this cools, jars are removed and glazed (glaze is about $38 per gallon). then, bottom decals are applied, and fired again for a longer time (2300 degrees). electrical cost of each kiln firing alone: $45. jars are then hand-polished and ready for sale.<br /><br />time, from beginning to end: at least a week. that's what warrants the very low price-tag of $39 for a food and dishwasher safe vase.@alyssa ettingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580336085933302326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801178661323276296.post-11318641372918517042011-03-05T09:02:21.485-08:002011-03-05T09:02:21.485-08:00Oh wow, these jars look like they were inspired by...Oh wow, these jars look like they were inspired by the talented Alyssa Ettinger, I love her work! http://www.alyssaettinger.comTara Mcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801178661323276296.post-32287262963538694392011-02-18T12:28:16.310-08:002011-02-18T12:28:16.310-08:00Cute!
