A salt glazed Bowl with Hakeme. I have fired these bowls one inside the other separated by sea shells. The rich orange colour is a result of the iron from the body, the alumina in the white slip and the restricted access of the vapour.
5.5 inches x 3 inches.
A Chawan with a Nuka Glaze. The very high iron content body ahs had an effect on the colour and texture of the glaze. This bowl was an unexpected but very welcome surprise!

A pouring bowl. Ash glazed and fired in the salt kiln.
5.5 inches x 4 inches.
A salt glazed Guinomi with a signed and sealed wooden box.

I have glazed this yunomi with an ash glaze and then placed it in the salt kiln. The fluxing action of the sodium from the salt has produced this variegated, fluid surface. Comes with a signed and stamped wooden box.
