Handmade Crystalline Glaze Bowl – Blue & Orange

This handmade porcelain bowl is a striking piece of ceramic art, featuring a vivid blue and orange crystalline glaze on the exterior and a smooth white interior. Its unique crystal patterns bring depth and movement, making it a stunning addition to your dining table, entryway, or sideboard.

Each bowl is thrown on the wheel, carefully trimmed, and altered before being bisque-fired, glazed, and high-fired. The crystalline finish is achieved through a complex firing process, where the kiln reaches 1300°C and then cools slowly, allowing crystals to grow, a process that can take up to 16 hours. The result is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Perfect as a decorative display piece or as a thoughtful handmade gift.

About Crystalline Glazes:
The macro-crystals found in crystalline glazes form around a nucleus of zinc oxide crystal. In the right circumstances, zinc and silica oxide molecules will begin attaching themselves to the nucleus crystal. For this to happen, there must be an extended time at higher temperatures to allow time for crystal growth, and the glaze must have the right type of chemical composition.
Firing schedules for crystalline glazes usually require a soaking period plus a controlled down-firing ramp.

Crystalline glazes tend to be quite runny. Pots should be fired on a bisque pedestal-saucer to catch all drips. The pot’s bottom may need to be ground and polished after removal from the kiln.
