Jar, white crackle glaze
Jar, white crackle glaze
Dimensions: 14.5 H x 7.3 W
(Dimensions may vary very slightly from the piece received)
Hand thrown and turned storage jar, fired with a white crackle glaze in a reduction atmosphere up to 1290ºc. The tops of these jars are glazed thickly to create lovely portions of thick crackles. There can be specks of iron and bronze, (copper), in my work, that appear arbitrarily. The pot you receive may have more or less of these.
Each is handmade so there will be slight differences between those pictured and those received—but I ensure they’ll be almost identical.
These pots are dishwasher safe and food safe, although please take care, washing by hand is the best option. All my pots are made with a high iron content clay body that is heavily reduction fired. This means that sharper edges can be susceptible to chipping if they’re bashed so please handle your pots with care. I personally always hand wash my handmade pottery and tend not to use them in microwaves. Remember, this isn’t mass produced factory ceramics, each pot is individual. Additionally, crackle glazes like this can stain naturally overtime with liquids such as tea or coffee. The pots themselves are highly vitrified and there’s nothing toxic or dangerous that can leach out from the crackle glazes. This is simply a byproduct of having such surfaces and you’ll find that crackle glazes, or crazing like this, can appear in wood fired pots, soda fired pots and salt fired wares too.
