“This is based on a story published by the Brothers Grimm in which a father must cut his daughters hands off to avoid her betrothal to the devil, she eventually finds a King who makes her silver hands. Other variants have the girl cutting her own hands off to avoid incest.”

UK-based contemporary ceramic sculpture artist Claire Partington creates unique porcelain pieces that take an antique process and adds a contemporary visual.
