Salt Vapor Glazing

Salt Glazing is a process where pots are engulfed in a sea of sodium vapors and fire.  Salt is inserted into the kiln at 2000 degrees F., releasing sodium which acts as a flux on the silica in the pots.  This action creates a unique glaze.
 The entire process is called "vapor glazing".

 In Salt Glazing the side of a pot facing the source of fire, or
“windward side"
 receives more glazing action and has a pronounced glaze pattern which may have textured surface like an “orange peel”.
