HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY II

This altered lip bowl came out of a firing recently and I took this impromptu photo which for some reason shows off the iron glaze as a deep, rich green, more so than normal. I suspect the lighting intensified the coloring which is a bit more subdued than it appears here but it certainly shows off how much the glaze runs and many of the subtle and not so subtle characteristics that show up including the speckling of shiny iron crystals that appear on the surface. One interesting feature of the glaze run is at the interior, bottom of the bowl which is not almost flat, like a still pool where the glaze has collected and filled in the soft curve that was  thrown into the piece. Though this is not 100% accurate in depicting this bowl, I thought it a good idea to use the photo which high lights and showcases some of the qualities of the surface that rarely shows up in most photos I take of these temmoku and yellow iron glazes pots.
