Shino inside. Natural ash. 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 creat ing dramatic colour variations on their surfaces depending on their position in the kiln. 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. Fired for 4 days in Nic’s Anagama kiln to temperatures in excess of 1300 ˚ Show more
