Angular bowl, partly oxidised dark green feldspathic glaze
Dimensions: 8 H x 14.2 W
A beautifully partly oxidised bowl, made using a high iron stoneware clay body and reduction fired to cone ten, (1290ºc). Although entirely coated in a dark green feldspathic crackle glaze, as the vessel was positioned close to one of the burners inside the kiln, it has flashed this glorious yellow tone where oxygen has entered the kiln. A one-off piece, individual to the core.
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.
