Triceratops Ornament by Keith Hershberger

This handmade ornament was made by Keith Hershberger of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

It is made of porcelain and has a design in 22K gold. The design features a triceratops. It has been fired to over 2200 degrees. Includes a red cotton string for hanging.

Due to its handmade nature, the piece you receive will be similar, but not identical to the one pictured.

I make wheel thrown pottery that is created with care, and meant to be used. My work is electric or wood-fired and decorated with slips and glazes using brushwork, stencils, screen-printing and decal image transfer. I create the images I use on my work in Photoshop and use the digital image to create physical stencils and silkscreens I use with colored slips, and to print laser decals for image transfer.

In a world that is too fast, and often too dark, my goal is to make space in the day for beauty.  Using a handmade object is like having a conversation with the maker, and I like the idea that I can help create, and even share in, the small moments in the day when we allow ourselves to sit down for a moment and have a cup of coffee, or a bowl of soup.
