Beautiful Pair of German Dresden Vases arrived in my studio without one handle.
After new handle was sculpted and painted it's time for GOLD LEAF.
The gold comes in a variety of karats which is a means of describing its purity, just as in jewelry making. The finest gold is 24 karat. Other metals are added to gold to impart subtle color to the gold. Copper is added to create a reddish cast, silver to create white gold and the look of silver. Gold leaf is available from 12-24 karats.
