Mezza Vases | Birch

Mezza Vases are purposefully handcrafted with the goal of creating totally unique, one of a kind pieces. Our vessel throwers have such a great time making these gems because they get to instill an extra dose of individuality into each one. This approach gives each vase its own personality and a completely unique look. 

Birch Glaze

During the 2300°F glaze firing, iron particles within the clay body rise to the surface. As the iron particles interact with this semi-gloss white glaze surface,  delicate brown specks form. These beautiful, dappled spots add a warm earthiness to this glaze and create an effect similar to the high contrast “eyes” that dapple the paper-like white bark of a Michigan birch tree — inspiring the glaze’s name, Birch. White or Paper Birch trees are the most common variety found throughout the state of Michigan. They help to enrich the soil and are known for their beautiful golden autumn foliage.
