Stoneware wall clock rg009

Features

This piece was fired at high temperature (first at 980ºC – 1800ºF, then I glazed it and it was fired at least once again at 1250ºC - 2280ºF). I have used matte greenish-gray glaze with rough texture and a shiny area at the bottom with spilled iron oxide. Into the kiln, the glazes melt and mix creating unrepeatable and unique effects. The cord is synthetic black waxed and braided.

Materials

I prepare by myself the glazes using high quality raw materials. They properly melt on the piece in the final firing and are transformed in a coloured inert glass. In the pieces of daily use the glaze is not altered by the acids of some foods, nor with sudden changes in temperature, etc. All this makes these everyday items food safe and microwave and dishwasher safe.

This piece is made of stoneware, it is a material used in tableware for restaurants and home. Like the cups of different sizes, and the bowls, plates, etc. for food use that you can find in this store. There are also porcelain bowls and plates and other decorative pieces. Porcelain is a harder material than stoneware, although it is more delicate to work with. It allows thinner walls and can be translucent. This makes it perfect for special pieces and lampshades. This clock is a decorative piece as well as others with mixed techniques in which I use other non-ceramic materials.
