A hand thrown and trimmed stepped mug, made using a high iron stoneware clay body and reduction fired to cone ten, (1290ºC). An unusual shape, twice fired, hence the very iridescent sheen this vessel has.

A hand thrown and turned tall angular bowl coated with a white crackle glaze, fired in a reduction atmosphere to 1290ºC. Each is handmade so there will be slight differences between those pictured and those received. There can be specks of iron and bronze, (copper), in my work, that appear arbitrarily. The pot you receive may have more or less of these, or non at all.

These pots are dishwasher safe and food safe, although please take care, washing by hand is the best option. All my pots are made with a high iron content clay body that is heavily reduction fired. This means that sharper edges can be susceptible to chipping if they’re bashed so please handle your pots with care. I personally always hand wash my handmade pottery and tend not to use them in microwaves. Remember, this isn’t mass produced factory ceramics, each pot is individual. Additionally, crackle glazes like this can stain naturally overtime with liquids such as tea or coffee. The pots themselves are highly vitrified and there’s nothing toxic or dangerous that can leach out from the crackle glazes. This is simply a byproduct of having such surfaces and you’ll find that crackle glazes, or crazing like this, can appear in wood fired pots, soda fired pots and salt fired wares too.
