Glaze notes: speckled white

Our speckled white began as an accident — a mislabeled bag of clay with more iron than expected. The firing pulled the iron through the glaze in fine dark freckles, and we have been refining that accident ever since.

Three ingredients, endless range

The recipe is short, but the result depends on thickness, position in the kiln and the mood of the flame. Two bowls dipped in the same bucket can come out siblings, never twins.

A glaze is a recipe the fire is allowed to edit.

Living with it

• Food-safe and dishwasher tested.
• The speckle deepens slightly with years of use.
• Unglazed rims are sanded smooth by hand.

We publish the glaze story with every edition, because the surface is half of what you are collecting.
