Product Information

Handbuilt stoneware clay. Single fire, meaning the formed clay is air dried over a week or so, then glazed with a heavy coat of crystal glaze, then fired once to 2200F (between cone 5-6); and what happens, happens.

This stoneware clay is supposed to be fired at 1830F-1915F (cone 04-05).

But the crystal glaze needs to fire at 2200F to flow, in fact, could be fired at 2300F. At the higher glazing temperature the stoneware clay tends to distort. I like the effect. The two different glazes; one matte, one gloss.

Fine art decor. Will hold water for flowers, but that is not what this piece is for (but that’s up to you).
11″ tall, 5lbs.
