open work vase

Qtable are launching a range of open work or pierced products.

Openwork is the process where gaps or holes are formed in the ceramic wall. These can take the shape of oval diamonds, hearts or other fitting shapes creating a lattice like structure.

Piercing or open work (openware) was used as a method of decorating English ceramics from the early eighteenth century and became increasingly fashionable by the middle of the century.
