This stoneware vase was thrown on the wheel and then fired at 1,320°C in a reduction atmosphere. The glaze is made of oak ash from the fireplace in Adele Stefanelli's house in the countryside, with an addition of copper oxide. The bluish-purple shades derive from the thickness of the glaze which varies according to the way the ash, which is quite heavy and does not mix homogeneously in the glaze, fixes on the furnace.
