Celadon Glaze

Celadon is an ancient glaze, in which, a small amount iron is used as a colorant.
These glazes are usually transparent and vary in color from light gray to deep green.

Celadon glazes are frequently used over incised surfaces.
 where the glaze can pool and give a darker color.

 

 

Textured Cut Marks

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 using a sawing action. This both separates the pot form the wheel head and produces this vibrant pattern.
