So this glaze is a copper red which turns out nice in a reduction gas kiln.
This upside-down berry bowl turned out nice & red… as the glaze should.
But you could a yellow “burnt” clear celadon look…
Or maybe even a mottled purple-ish color…
And if you’re “lucky” enough, you might get all of the colors on just one berry bowl. And by “lucky” I mean shocked to find out that this berry bowl was apparently in a pretty strong oxidation pocket in the lower back corner of the kiln. Lucky me, huh?!
Apparently, this is what happens when worlds collide…
the edge of the oxidation pocket makes a surprisingly straight line, huh?!
