Thrown from gently flecked speckled clay before being covered in my Burnt Umber glaze, these jugs have been glazed using a pouring method rather than a dipping method which allows for natural colour-change and difference in crystal formation upon the surface of the pot.
The colour of the glaze traverses a whole range from toasty oranges to breaking red on sharper edges, all the way to a kind of green/blue flashing where it's a little thinner and hotter. They are all super special one-offs that shows the flexibility and diversity of a single glaze, and utilises sharp edges in combination with smooth surfaces to maximum effect.
I enjoy making these jugs as they're all thrown from 1kg clay, pulled to however high I can stretch them on the wheel that day - therefore they range from 20-23cm tall respectively, and all have slightly different surfaces from the glaze application.
The bottom of the jug is simply turned, and stamped with my maker's mark.

*please be aware this is a hand-thrown piece, and as such, small differences between images and jugs are to be expected.
Tall Jug in Burnt Umber
Although *theoretically* dishwasher safe, to prolong the lifespan of this jug, I'd suggest hand-washing with warm soapy water. If any staining occurs, due to - say - contact with grubby flowers, the stain can be removed using bicarbonate of soda and warm water.
These pieces are dishwasher safe - although hand-washing with warm soapy water will prolong the lifespan of the glaze.
