Aurora
Ben Owen III developed this stunning glaze over the summer of 2025. Resembling the dynamic flickers across the night sky resulting from the natural phenomena, Aurora borealis, this glaze produces a display of color covering the spectrum of green and red.
Considered an "artistic glaze", Aurora can produce large sections of the turquoise-blue tones as if a curtain was being pulled across the surface of the pot. At other times, Aurora develops individual speckles of the green-blue color. The blushes of red hue develop from the smoke of the flame within the gas kiln, converting copper from green to red. Just as no Aurora borealis effect will ever be re-created, no two pieces of Ben III's Aurora will ever be alike. A distinct and alluring glaze, Aurora will forever intrigue its owner.
This piece is hand-signed by Ben Owen III with the year made (2025).
