"Mineral Flow Vase"
Height 8 inches
High-Fire White Stoneware, Rutile Eggshell, Light Green
(copper-based), Mottled Red, Moderately Reduced
Wheel-thrown and incised by an aluminum straight rib. The channels
incised
around the perimeter of this vase provided a retention area for
the
mottled red so that when the maturing temperature of the red was
reached
(being below that of the green) the glaze ran over the light green,
producing the striking brown-red flow patterns. The matteness of
the
glazes was further enhanced through the application of the light
green
using a sponge rather than a brush or dipping.
