During the firing process ash will fall onto the pots being fired and when it does it creates a kind of reaction on the surface that not only changes the colour but also the lustre, giving the appearance of a glaze. And also making each finish completely unique, no two pieces will ever come out the same. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith this vase, one side of the vase is more raw and the reddish brown clay is clearly visible, on the side that has been exposed to ash, it is shiny, mottled and much darker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasures 16cm tall x 12cm wide \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kanso House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54439382450481,"sku":"KH0051","price":79.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/2399\/1857\/files\/Vintage_Japanese_Bizen_Gourd_Shape_Vase-1.jpg?v=1780654206","url":"https:\/\/kansohouse.com.au\/products\/vintage-japanese-bizen-hand-made-woodfired-ceramic-vase","provider":"Kanso House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
