The Nebular Purple glaze is the real showstopper—born from bold cobalt experimentation in the wood kiln, it transforms during the slow cooling process into shimmering lavendar micro-crystals that dance across the surface.  The result is a living finish that reveals new character depending on light and perspective.  Own a piece of genuine studio pottery where technical mastery meets curious exploration, creating a vessel that is captivating to display.  Measuring 6.75”w x 10.5\"h.\u003cbr\u003ePlease Note: What appear to be white spots on the surface are reflections from photo lighting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNebular Purple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Ben Owen III developed the Nebular Purple wood-fired microcrystalline series over several years.  The outcome is the artistic rendition of a majestic nebula formation that telescopic space images portray.  \u003cbr\u003e   To achieve this rare find, the wood kiln temperature is meticulously controlled as it rises AND as it falls, to encourage micro-crystal growth at specific temperatures and render this stunning final product.  A small amount of the pigment magnesium tints the crystals light purple while a high concentration of the pigment cobalt tints the background a deep, rich blue.  We hope you enjoy this one-of-a-kind glaze!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis piece is hand-signed by Ben Owen III with the year made (2023).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ben Owen Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42011232239671,"sku":"Ben Owen III","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/8692\/3575\/files\/IMG_0441_68ee8a67-3f9e-4e63-816e-68d0ec618248.jpg?v=1764795952","url":"https:\/\/store.benowenpottery.com\/products\/edo-jar-in-nebular-purple-10-75h-ben-owen-iii","provider":"Ben Owen Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
