These four cups were chosen as a set because they showcase the variety of colors and textures this glaze can create. Depending of their location in the kiln and how the flame contacted their surface they have varying levels of light brown flashing. The colors range from a light celadon green to a sandy whitish clear. The reducing atmosphere pulls iron impurities from within the clay and creates brown and black spots on the surface. Fired to cone 9.
