This large vase features two distinct glazes. The golden glaze is my original recipe, the golden-yellow surface is created using iron that I personally collect and prosses from southern Utah. This same locally sourced iron is also used to produce a deep, rich glaze that appears black or brown depending on the light. That darker glaze is inspired by traditional Japanese Tenmoku styles.
The clay body is a 50/50 blend of stoneware and porcelain. The piece was wheel-thrown on an electric wheel and then trimmed using turning tools on the same wheel. After trimming, it was allowed to dry slowly for up to 10 weeks before being bisque fired to 1728°F. It was then glazed with the two glazes and glaze-fired to 2232°F.
Dimensions: 8 inches tall, 7-inch belly, 5-inch rim. (dimensions are approximate)
