Glazed stoneware・5 day wood-fired

This "lichen” pot features a thick exterior glaze over wood-fired stoneware. The interior is unglazed.

The gray and sage toned glaze reaches down halfway to the base of the pot, ending with an organic free-flowing edge that contrasts dramatically with burnished metallic tones of the raw clay.

The lid on this pot is covered in both glaze and vitrified fly ash. Two running drips of lighter glaze falls around the spout. Delicate handle, spout, and throat gives the pot an incredible lightness of being. The glazed portion of the pot has a beautiful crackle that will deepen in color with use. Fired in a wood-burning kiln for five days.

Usage and care: Hand-wash with water only.
