This vase is glazed with my golden-yellow iron glaze. The color is created using wild iron that I collect in southern Utah and refine for use as a colorant in my glaze formulations. The interior is finished with one of my original white glazes, made without added colorants to create a smooth, clean surface.
The vase was wheel-thrown and trimmed using a 50/50 blend of stoneware and porcelain clay. After trimming, it was set aside to dry slowly for up to ten weeks. Once fully dry, I applied my crackle slip, which shrinks as it dries and creates the distinctive cracking effect.
The piece was then bisque fired to 1728°F and glazed with my golden-yellow iron glaze. After the glaze dried, I brushed pure iron directly onto the surface, allowing it to interact with the glaze during firing. The vase was then fired to 2232°F, fully maturing the glaze and developing the final surface.
Dimensions: 4.5 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide, 3.5-inch rim (approximate).
