Not very warm in Ireland so the layers and hat are essential!

Just finished this little tester bowl as part of my @QESTcraft learning. It was engraved flat (with several slips along the way!) then pressed before being enamelled.

Thank you to @qestcraft for my scholarship. Thank you also to @artscouncilni for a SIAP towards this project
