Vapor Glazing

In the salt glazing process
 pots are actually engulfed in a sea of fire.

Sodium (salt) is introduced to the kiln,
 where it's fluxing action creates a glaze
 this is known as "vapor glazing"
 

Wad Marks

The "flash patterns" on the bottom of this vessel,
are a result of “Wads”
used prevent the pot from fusing to the kiln shelf.

The choice of materials used for wadding,
the shape and the amount of wadding used,
are important aesthetic considerations for the potter.
