Wheel thrown and altered, this moon jar is thrown in two pieces that are traditionally joined in the middle. The clay body is a reclaimed Australian stoneware, and the surface is glazed with a combination of oxides, iron-rich glaze, alumina, feldspar chips and fireclay to give a dramatic, sculptural and volcanic effect.
The dark oxides combined with the iron-soaked alumina are evocative of the deep, elemental forces working beneath the earth's surface.
This piece is fired in reduction and is one of a kind.

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.
