This large vase is glazed with my original golden iron glaze. The warm golden-yellow color comes from wild iron that I collect in southern Utah and process myself to use in my glaze recipes. The white glaze is also my original formula, made without added colorants to achieve the smooth, natural surface you see.
The vase is made from a 50/50 blend of stoneware and porcelain. It was wheel-thrown and trimmed, then set aside to dry slowly for up to ten weeks. Once dry, I applied my crackle slip and black crackle slip. As the slips dry, they shrink and create the crackled surface pattern. The piece is then bisque fired to 1728°F.
After the bisque firing, the vase is glazed and fired again to 2232°F, allowing the glazes to fully mature.
The black crackle slip is created by adding the same wild-collected iron to my crackle slip recipe, giving it its deep, dark color.
Dimensions: 8.5 inches tall, 7-inch belly, 5-inch rim. (demotions are approximate)
