Glaze Interactions

I show the interaction of two glazes applied side by side, with neither overlap nor gap between them. An interfacial region developed

between the contrast inlay glaze and the background glaze. I show a close up of that interface, and also to give context,

a picture of the pot.

The markings on the outside of the deep bowl are a second glaze inlay. The glaze is filled in to an area that had been masked prior to

the pouring of the first layer of glaze. It was then waxed with an emulsion wax prior to stripping the mask.
