Miniature woodfired bud vases, made in stoneware clay and woodfired for 62 hours in the Oxford Kilns anagama kiln.

These vases were fired on their sides - the flashing of raw clay left on these pieces is from ‘wadding’ which is used to protect the clay from the ash during the firing which could melt them to the kiln shelves. The vases went into the kiln completely unglazed, the only colour and gloss on the surface coming from the path of the flame and the ash landing and melting on the surface during the firing.

All miniatures vary in size but are between 6 - 8cm tall.

I advise against using woodfired pieces in the microwave and dishwasher.
