Wheel thrown stoneware Cup that is wood fired and Salt Glazed
$30.00
This Wood fired stoneware piece was fired in one of my two autumn (mid-October and late November) firings in 2025. Each firing lasted 17 hours and achieved a temperature of about 2380 degrees Fahrenheit. During each firing, over 200 pots were unloaded after a three-day cooling period. The November firing, held the Saturday after Thanksgiving, involved stoking the kiln during a snowstorm that resulted in over a ten-inch accumulation from hour 4 until the last stoke. During the last 45 minutes of the firing, I add cylinders of table salt via angle iron into the firebox. The salt vaporizes and helps to complete the fluxing of the wood ash which is the glass coating on the outer surface of the pottery.
This particular cup was side fired to achieve the horizontal type drips often found on pottery propped on its side. This is evident by the off-white marks on one side of the pottery as this is where the "refractory wadding" (balls of clay that resists melting) was attached prior to placement in the kiln. All of my functional kitchenware has food-safe glazes that line the inside of the vessel. These glazes are from the "Mastering Cone 6 glazes," text that is commonly found in art guilds, college and High School Ceramics departments.
