A twice fired vase, believe it or not. Initially it fired with a bubbled glaze as I placed it in a spot in the kiln that always increases in temperature too quickly, (I’ve since learnt and leave it unfilled). Thus, I fired it again in a better spot and this fixed the bubbles but added the yellow streak, a patch of oxidation caused by oxygen creeping into the kiln through the burner ports. This flash of yellow is unrepeatable in the same pattern and I adore how it sweeps across this vase. Made using a high iron stoneware clay body, covered in a dark green feldspathic crackle glaze and reduction fired to cone ten, (1290ºC).

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.
