Santa Tegra vase remake

This glazed stoneware piece is a copy of a vase found on the Castro de Santa Tegra archaeological site on the northwest Iberian Peninsula. The materials, colours and firing temperature of the vase is based on those used to create the original vase, which were made with ferruginous clay. It reproduces the typical colours of Iron Age ceramics, which was made possible by replicating the firing temperature of pre-roman kilns, which is thought to be no more than 650–700ºC.
