Ceramic ocarina Golden Eagle owl. Beautiful handmade flute with gold and on-glaze painting

Ceramic ocarina Golden Eagle owl. Author's hand-painted clay flute with
on-glaze paints

Ceramic ocarina Golden Eagle owl has a good, deep sound and painted with
colored on-glaze paints and gold. This is a rather complex technology. After
the first firing, the product is covered with white glaze and fired again. The
white glazed surface serves as the basis for on-glaze painting. The finished
drawing is fired again in a ceramic oven. Such a pattern is distinguished by
clarity, contrast and vivid colors. You can wash the ocarina with glass
detergents or a sponge and soap without damaging the design.

For convenience in the interior and carrying on a neck I attached a dark waxed
cord. You can use this hand painted flute as ocarina necklace.
The part of a whistle which is not covered with glaze polished is also covered
with wax which protects it from pollution and provides easy gloss.
Ocarina allows you to perform simple melodies within one octave.

Lenght 3.3 inch (85 mm)
Width 2.5 inch (63 mm)
Thickness 1.4 inch (35 mm)

Due to roasting at a temperature of about 950 degrees, the ceramic ocarinas
have a great hardness, so they do not need special care. The main thing is to
avoid falling and strong impacts on hard surfaces, since the product can break.
Our ocarina is treated with wax, which gives them a light shine and enhances
color. This cover can be updated from time to time. For this purpose, polishes
for furniture on a wax basis are well suited. You can also use creams for
shoes, which include natural wax. Just apply the product on the surface of the
ocarina, and when it absorbs, wipe the instrument with a clean cloth.

Over time, you may notice that the instrument began to sound worse. This means
that the whistle has become dirty. Try several times to blow into the ocarina
as much as you can. In most cases this is sufficient, but in some cases more
serious measures are required. Pick up a piece of metal wire with a diameter of
0.5 mm and a length of about 15 cm thicker can spoil the whistle, proceed with
caution! Bend in half so that the loop matches the width of the air channel of
the mouthpiece. Spread the wire on the fire and gently clean the hole. Repeat
the operation several times and the ocarina will regain voice. See how to do
this in the video: https://youtu.be/7KPIQRy2URg

Sometimes the sound disappears due to improper handling. Examine the whistle
if the thin plate opposite the mouthpiece is broken, then it will be impossible
to restore the sound! Fortunately, this happens very rarely, after unsuccessful
falls or children's games. Also, do not try to change the musical structure of
the ocarina. Such actions in most cases lead to damage to the product.
