This medium vase features three different glazes on the exterior. The lower portion is finished with my golden-yellow iron glaze, with its color derived from wild iron that I collect and process from southern Utah. The upper section is my interpretation of a traditional Japanese Tenmoku glaze, producing deep brown and black tones using that same locally sourced iron. The interior is coated with one of my original white glazes, made without added colorants to create a smooth, clean finish.
The vase is made from a 50/50 blend of stoneware and porcelain. It was wheel-thrown on an electric wheel, then trimmed using turning tools and set aside to dry slowly for up to ten weeks. Once dry, I applied my crackle slip, which shrinks during drying and creates the distinctive cracked surface.
The piece was bisque fired to 1728°F, then glazed and glaze-fired to 2232°F.
Dimensions: 6.25 inches tall, 6-inch belly, 4-inch rim.
