Wood Fired Porcelain Vase    This wheel-thrown, porcelain vase is an excellent example of the amazing results that are possible from the combination of ash and glaze.  This vase was glazed by using an airbrush and incorporates 2 variations of a crystal matte glaze (Tom Coleman's glaze).    The vase stands 11 inches tall and is about 6 inches wide.  The vase was fired in an anagama wood kiln for 3 days and was fired to around 2400 degrees.    This artwork is unique not only because of the method in which it was fired, but also because of the stunning crystal growth that is "frozen" on the surface of this vase.  Notice the tan/yellow crystals against the soft surface that are complimented by the blue/green crystals.  Also, the glaze drips that are found flowing over the blue glaze at the bottom of the piece are a testament to the fluidness of the glaze at peak temperature.  The picture on the top-right side of this page shows the side of the vase that faced away from the flame.  Notice the lack of glaze drips and crystal growth, which records the tale of the two sides to this vase.      As explained above, the process of combining glazes with heat and ash makes this vase a one of a kind artwork that will enhance any area it is displayed in.
