Functional Porcelain
Antoinette created a full series of functional porcelain for use in the kitchen as well as for the formal dinnerware table. Her mugs, bowls, plates and dishes are all dishwasher safe and unless she used gold or silver or bronze on any item, it is microwave safe too.

Antoinette Badenhorst Portfolio
There are always challenges in studio porcelain and I like to take on those challenges by pushing the limits of the clay. To be able to do that, you have to understand the characteristics of porcelain.
I created these translucent porcelain envelopes and added wheel thrown foot rims (pedestals) as part of the decoration. The big challenge in the firing process is the clay movement in the kiln. These envelopes are glazed on the inside with translucent and transparent glazes with mason stains and fired in an electric kiln at cone 10. The outside is not glazed and polished with a diamond sanding pad. I use Southern Ice porcelain clay.
Each of my creations are one-of-a-kind.

Press molded, altered and sculpted translucent porcelain. Antoinette can create something similar, but not exactly the same work, since all her work is one of a kind.

These sculpted bowls are wheel thrown, altered and carved. It is the perfect vessels to create atmosphere during an evening event or to simply let any light spills into the interior and see how the shadow play through the walls.
