Each piece of pit fired pottery is unique within itself creating its one-of-a-kind appearance. Such is the case with this decorative pot of porcelain clay that was wheel thrown by our in house potter here at Miss Cellanys. Pit firing is an ancient method for the firing of pottery. The technique is a simple one. Unfired pots are lowered in a pit surrounded by such things as wood, wood chips, wood shavings, saw dust, leaves, salt, even dried manure. The pit is then set on fire while the burning of these materials traps carbon on the surface of the pots. After cooling, the pots are removed from the fire and cleaned leaving patterns of colorful swirls, smudges and splatters left by ash and salt deposits. This pot was hand waxed to a satiny finish. Please note, pit fired pottery is NOT food safe, also the clay is not vitreous so the pot will not hold water. This pot measures approximately 5" x 5-1/2".Satisfaction is always 100% guaranteed.
