Item details

The vase was rapidly heated up to 960°C, then placed in a barrel filled with combustible material, covered with wood shavings, and allowed to smoke. The amount of oxygen that is allowed during the firing and cooling process affects the resulting color of the glaze and the amount of crackle. Generally my practice is to starve oxygen by placing a lid on the barrel after 1-3 minutes. The process is highly unpredictable but often causes metallic colours to be revealed as well as dark colours, often bearing no resemblance to any glaze used! (as in this instance).
