About Salt Glazing:

Salt glazing involves the meticulous process of introducing salt into the kiln at peak temperatures, typically between 2,300 and 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit (1,260 to 1,320 degrees Celsius). As the salt vaporizes, it forms a unique glaze on the pottery’s surface, resulting in a range of captivating effects that reflect the artistry of each piece. This method originated in Germany during the 15th century and gained popularity throughout Europe and North America, especially for creating durable stoneware pottery like jugs and crocks. Each Salt Glazed Vase boasts a beautiful palette of colors, from subtle grays and browns to vibrant blues, and even hints of pink or purple, depending on the firing conditions and salt application. The texture is characteristically rough and pebbled, with a matte or satin finish that enhances its organic feel. The salt glazing process is inherently unpredictable, allowing for delightful variations that make each vase a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. No two pieces are exactly alike, ensuring your vase will be a distinctive addition to your home decor. While salt glazing may be less common today, it continues to be embraced by skilled potters and ceramic artists who honor this age-old technique. Our Salt Glazed Vase is not just a decorative item; it’s a celebration of tradition, artistry, and the beauty of natural materials.
