Classically Shaped Vase glazed in Temmoku and my hand-mixed Nuka glaze.
A Nuka glaze is a traditional Japanese glaze mixed from wood-ash and burnt rice hulls. In this case, I collected the ash from a farm on Taungurung country north of Melbourne. Here it is layered over the Temmoku giving a surprising combination of deep, rich browns and greenish-blues.
Reclaimed, iron-rich, Australian Stoneware.
Fired in reduction.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Fragile. Handle with care.
All ceramics should, in theory, be able to handle realtively high heat and survive washing in a dishwasher or short bursts in a microwave if you are reheating coffee or a meal. All functional ware is water tight.
Note that no metals should be place in a microwave. Do not place anything in a microwave that has had lustre work or metal oxides applied.
Be careful of thermal shock. Getting to high heats rapidly can cause breakage, whether in hot water, or an oven. Take care to heat slowly if need be.
Ceramics are fragile. Bumping them in a sink or against a coutertop, dropping them on hard surfaces, can cause breakage. Handling items with appropriate care is the responsibility of the owner.
