Inspiration: “This important protective symbol of ancient Egypt represents the Eye of the falcon god, Horus. It is also called the Udjat Eye, which symbolizes health and integrity. He is depicted on sarcophagi, pectorals, and eye-shaped amulets that were worn to protect against evil. The first glazes were discovered around 4000 BC, in ancient Egypt: they are called “Egyptian pasta”. At the time, sand was mixed with “natron”, a natural mixture of sodium salts: these sodium salts being soluble, they migrated to the surface during drying, forming a thin powdery layer. When cooked, this powder melted, forming a glass. The addition of copper oxide made it possible to obtain the characteristic turquoise color of this Egyptian pasta. ”
