These four cups show the two extreme colors that can be created with this glaze. Depending on the amount of heat and flame that hits the surface, the glaze can go from a rich brown with spots of green to a matte green with rivulets of glaze cascading down the surface. The iron in the brown clay is often pulled to the surface leaving dark brown spots all over the cups. Fired to cone 9 in a reducing atmosphere.
