wheel-thrown bowl made using speckled clay and glazed with a shiny white glaze.
a good size for ice cream, dessert, snacks, a little bowl of cereal perhaps.
to create this clay and glaze effect I have to do a special kind of firing - a reduction firing. reduction firing is firing in an oxygen deprived atmosphere, which can result in very cool clay and glaze transformations that you wouldn’t usually get, in this case, the iron speckles in the clay body really release and ‘bloom’. I can’t reduction fire and get these results in my electric kiln so these are extra special, having been fired in my Grandma’s old gas kiln.
accidentally broke my makers mark/stamp so ‘Stable Hand Studio’ is written on the base in underglaze pencil instead of stamped.
approx. 10cm across x 7.5cm deep.
