XL Custom Thrown Vessel | Azurite Iridescent
This special one of a kind vase was wheel-thrown by Pewabic artist Joy Kin. Our team of makers set out to create one-of-a-kind forms and glaze results specifically for this year's House & Garden Show. There were no parameters or rules, so many of our artists drew inspiration from historic Pewabic designs. This vase features the newly released Azurite Iridescent glaze which was directly inspired by historic pieces found in our archival collection.
IRIDESCENT GLAZE
Many consider the Iridescent glaze to be Pewabic's most important contribution to ceramic art. Through trial, error, and sheer persistence, Mary Chase Perry Stratton developed her first successful Iridescent glaze in 1906. Establishing the formula and stabilizing the firing process took another three years. Today our Iridescent pieces are fired somewhat similarly, though with safer materials. It requires a third firing and a process called fuming–– when vegetable oil is injected into the kiln to create the extraordinary one-of-a-kind effects.
