Nic Collins large jar with shino glaze and scallop shell detail. Shino glazes were first developed in Japan during the mid-1500s. They are distinguished by their large feldspar content, minerals that lower the melting point of the glaze mixture and help bond its distinct elements. They generally range from milky whites and pinks to deep reds, oranges and greys depending on their makeup and firing and can vary hugely in appearance from potter to potter. Of particular interest in Shino wares is the phenomenon of’carbon trapping’, where carbon is caught within the glaze during the firing, creating bubble-like spots or dark grey patches on the surface of the pot. Though it is sometimes described as a glaze defect, this blushing effect can be especially attractive and is often sought after by potters. Natural ash glaze occurs in a wood fired kiln when ash particles carried around the kiln by the hot air and flames land and melt on the pots, often creating dramatic colour variations on their surfaces depending on their position in the kiln. Fired for 4 days in Nic’s Anagama kiln to temperatures in excess of 1300? Dimensions & Details DATE OF WORK: 2017 FIRING: Wood CERAMIC STYLE: Functional HEIGHT (CM) 33 WIDTH (CM) 31 SIGNED.
