This small, loosely thrown jug ended up in the firebox, I needed a pot of a certain size and shape to fill a hole and it was the perfect fit. It has the 1:1:1 flashing slip and shell wadding marks from being wadded on its side.
This small jug was in the throat zone and was rewarded by the hit of greenish fly ash by the rim. The Dry Shino glaze over the dark 20% mix clay can produce these intense reds and oranges, but only if the soda hit is just right.
This jug was on the top shelf, near the centre of the kiln so received a healthy dose of soda, creating a rich stripe of soda glaze down the pot. The Bauer flashing slip has intensified the colours and created rich orange and red tones.
