Recently I threw a stoneware lidded urn that’s around 30 cm in height and that includes a basic drop lid. I glazed the urn in Dry Ginger glaze.
Dry ginger glaze is a matt glaze with a colour that ranges from off white through yellow-orange to ochre depending on the firing, position of the piece in the kiln and kiln atmosphere. The glaze also varies in colour over clay ridges and other raised features on the clay body. It also produces a pleasant speckled pattern.
The close up picture of the side of the urn below clearly shows my finger marks from the throwing process. In Japanese these marks are called 轆轤目 (rokorome) or the “look of a pottery wheel”.
