Pilgrim Jug

The term “Pilgrim Pot” makes reference to pieces from ancient times that were used as transportation jugs or "Canteens".
Pilgrim jugs have a wide range of designs reflecting the personality of the potter and his culture.

Korean Celadon

Korean Celadon is a unique celadon because it produces of a wide range of colors.  While it may fire transparent green, it often is opaque and ranges in color from pale yellow to golden rust.  It may even exhibit tiny star-like crystals.  The surface quality of Korean Celadon may also vary from gloss to matte. 
Most celadon glazes offer a consistent gloss and predictable color.  Robert works with Korean Celadon because it offers him a wide spectrum of colors and effects.

Wad Marks

Sodium (salt glazing) and fly ash (wood firing) create glaze on the pots and on kiln shelves where the pots sit.  Wadding prevents pots in Wood Firing and Salt Glazing from fusing to the kiln shelves. 
 The size, shape and materials used for wadding,
are important aesthetic considerations for the potter.  In addition to preventing pots from fusing to shelves, wadding acts as a color resist and reveals flame flashing patterns.

Cord Cut Shell Pattern

The unusual texture on the underside of this pot is the result of the method Robert used to cut it free of the potters wheel.  Utilizing a twisted cord (one he made for this process) he drags the cord under the freshly thrown pot as the wheel is slowing rotating.  This both separates the pot from the wheel head and produces a vibrant pattern.
