Black moonjar

This dark porcelain jar was thrown on a potter's wheel and fired at 1,300°C in an oxidation atmosphere. The black glaze is made of oak ash from the fireplace of Adele Stefanelli's house in the countryside. Moonjar is the name of South Korean porcelain, round jars traditionally white, hence the name moonjar. Using a black glaze, Adele choose to make it a moonjar evocative of an eclipse.
