Wood Fired Ash/Shino Vase This vase is an unusually glazed piece because the front side had no glaze applied to it, while the back side was glazed with a shino glaze. This vase also provides a story of its' place in the firing by the vertical flashing marks found on the front side of the vase. The vase is made from stoneware clay and stands 9 1/2 inches tall by 5 inches wide. The vase was fired in an anagama kiln for 3 days to a temperature of around 2400. As I was contemplating how or if I wanted to glaze this vase, I decided to use an airbrush to apply a shino glaze to the entire back side of the vase and allow the front side of the vase to be painted by the fire. As an added twist, the vase was placed behind a post - a tall brick that holds up the shelves that the pieces are stacked on inside the kiln. As a result, the flame and ash were forced to move around the vase and left a distinct pattern down the front of the vase where the post had shielded the vase from the flame.
