Crystalline Glaze Flasks

~ Chemistry and Art ~

Zinc oxide and silica in the glaze mixture, melt in the potter's furnace. As the temperature is lowered several hundred degrees, amazing crystals of zinc silicate grow, in molten glass, and then frozen for us to see and feel. Various metal salts added to the glaze produce spectacular colors.

Each Piece is unique and hand made in Seagrove, NC.

Gift boxed with a booklet describing the science of the glaze, clay, ceramics, fractals and alchemy!

Cobalt and manganese are the added elements that produce distinctive bluish purple zinc silicate crystals on a grey background of glass other silicate crystals.

These beautiful crystalline glaze flasks show us nature's order and structure and the potter's art and science!
