This orange-red glaze, with its 14% iron oxide, seems to love slip-sliding down the uneven slopes of this distorted bowl. This close-up shows the wide range of colours produced as this glaze runs through and over the first, deep black glaze. I love how the red turns to  greenish tan at all points where the red pulls away from the black, even around all the black pools where the black has somehow forced its way through to the surface.

The white was simply poured down the length of the bowl, between the squirts of orange-red, as I held it tilted downwards in my hand.  This glaze also breaks up nicely over the black.

Stoneware, thrown. The bowl is distorted by gently, but forcefully squeezing the sides inwards, once the piece has been trimmed, but is still damp.

Fired in oxidation to Cone 6.
