A great pitcher for serving any special occasion or dinner. Also, the perfect backdrop for a fresh or dried floral arrangement.
The natural tones are a result of a mix of iron and mica in the clay along with ash accumulation from a 40-hour+ wood firing. A delight! Dishwasher-safe. Measuring 7.25"l x 7.25"w x 11.5"h.

The Natural Ash Glaze is produced by relying on the wood-firing process as the glazing agent. Most pieces dedicated to this glaze are placed in the kiln with little or no glaze applied to the exterior. During the firing process, the wood is occasionally stirred in the firebox to give flight to the flakes of ash produced during the firing. When these small flakes become airborne, they cling to the exposed areas of the pots and accumulate over a period of time. As the kiln reaches about 2300 degrees Fahrenheit, the wood ash will liquefy and begin to run down the side of the pots, as if one had poured honey on the vase.
