Item Description
In crystalline glazes, the crystals form through a complex process that mirrors the geologic conditions found in volcanoes. Intense heat allows molecules to move freely and combine, then are trapped as the molten material cools. The glaze is applied thickly to form a layer in which the molecules can travel. As the glaze is heated to a molten state, the molecules move about, are attracted to each other and join together in patterns based on their molecular bonding affinities.
11" x 5.75" x 5.75" (at widest point)
The kiln is then cooled and held at a controlled rate to specific temperatures so that the different types of molecules join together to form lattice structures. If all conditions are just right, beautiful crystals are captured as the glaze cools and hardens. No two pieces are exactly alike.
