When it comes to friends, it's not about quantity- I've always believed that in life you really only need a few really good friends, maybe even just one. I thought it sounded perfect when I read that friendship is represented by the cheery geranium. Common geraniums (Pelargonium) are an old-fashioned flower, generally symbolizing friendship and happiness. Red geraniums have an extra meaning, that of protection of home and self. It may be one of the reasons you see them planted often outside front doors, for welcome and for protection (I guess friends always provide those things too) This ceramic jewelry holder is covered with handpainted geran ium flowers and leaves and has a real 22kt gold accent on the textured rim. Handmade from start to finish, using flowers from my own garden, creating a special spot for your rings, earrings, other jewelry, or incense cones. This ceramic dish is made from smooth porcelain-like stoneware clay, dried, bisque fired in a pottery kiln, glazed, and kiln fired once more at approximately 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. The flowers are imprinted from actual geranium flowers and then hand painted with shades of green stains and red underglaze in the style of delicate watercolor. The glaze is a glossy soft clear with the beautiful feel and finish of kiln fired pottery. Real gold is applied to the rim in a special process designed for ceramics, and the piece is fired a third time to bond the gold.
