   The cobalt and iron pigments blended with the naturally-formed Ash Glaze create a completely individualistic finish.  The brilliant blue and golden tones accent the beautiful drips along the contour of this jug.  The Natural Ash Glaze is produced from a combination of hardwoods and pine burned in the kiln.  Measuring 6"w x 8.25”h.
Please Note: What appears to be white spots on the surface are reflections from photo lighting.

Multi-Layer Glaze
   When Ben was in college, he was introduced to a spraying technique using an air-driven spray gun that some potters use to build up layers of glazes on the clay surface.  With some experimenting, he was able to create a variety of finishes using accents of 3 to 4 different colors.  A glaze made from ash can be used as a top coat to blend or bleach the underlying colors.  Some finishes are a base of an iron yellow with cobalt blue or copper green covering.  Other colors of orange to silver can develop from the colors overlapping.  No two pieces are exactly alike.

This piece is hand-signed by Ben Owen III with year made (2025).
