This brown stoneware vase was shaped by hand before being fired in an Anagama kiln at 1,340°C. The container's colour and surface effects derive from hot ash during the four-day firing process. In the heat, ash fuses onto the clay to form a natural glaze. Smoke, flames and embers leave their mark in the form of grey, red and deep blue tones.
