| This sample has been aged by visual inspection of foraminifera. The bamboo prints are from tubular end grain on the rice paddle I use to plane out finger marks, as a finishing move on the wet clay. Celadon glaze had some watery surface, which influenced the dip in the glaze of the rim - it highlights the bamboo prints. 9" wide x 4" high | | | 6.25" wide x 4" high. Indian Ocean sediment, thanks to R/V Atlantis II, recently refit to be a cruise ship with an eco-tourism future. Indian Ocean glaze was dated visually by inspection of foraminifera and estimated to be 35 to 40 million years old. Other glaze inside and out is a copper red, doing various things . . . the copper volatilizes during firing and that is partly why the exterior is less red. This glaze is usually green, even though my hope is always for this red. | ||
