The reaction of carbon

The vase has four handles on the shoulder and a thicker glaze application on the surface giving the look of icing on a cake

Each vase is entirely unique

the lighter blue hues of cobalt crystals appear to float over the rich deep blue background as though they are moon jellies in the deep ocean

This vase shape is a design from Ben III’s grandfather

Melon Pitcher in Patina Green, 11.75"h (Ben Owen III) Opal Blue Glaze Series The reaction of carbonA great result from the recent wood firing on this melon pitcher. The Patina Green finish can resemble moss growing along the surface of a tree trunk or a weathered copper roof, this form works well for displaying the artistic Patina Green finish. This glaze is a blend of a copper glaze and the natural ash accumulation from the wood firing process. Micro crystals have formed on the surface of the piece during the slow cooling of the kiln.
