One of the first things I made on this year long challenge, it was way back in January, was a moon flask. I've made several more since and I teach making these in my Porcelain Illusions / Joyful Moon Flask workshops.
I love the shape of these moon flasks and decided to revisit the making of them and have a go at a miniature one! It is all made in silver like the bigger flasks, but I've developed a slightly different technique for making it :D
Each side is enamelled...
...and it has a little stopper so you could use it for perfume. The stopper on this one is set with a 4mm faceted rainbow moonstone cabochon. I think it looks a bit like rock crystal. I chose it because it seems to suit the different colours on each side of the flask.
The round main body of the flask measures just 18mm in diameter.
Here it is with one of its 'big brothers' to give you a better idea of the sense of scale...
...and in my hand.
Cute isn't it! :D
If you want to make a Moon Flask do get in touch! :)
Have fun!
