Crystalline Process
Gorgeous crystals are grown inside the glaze during a complicated firing schedule. The entire 10-step creation process can take up to 30 hours on a single piece. Even with great care, the failure rate is high. Therefore only a few potters have accepted the challenges of crystalline pottery. Crystal glazes require an intricate long cooling schedule. The zinc based glazes run off the pot and need special containers to collect the melted glaze so that it does not ruin the kiln shelves. It is impossible to repeat the design on any piece; therefore, each pot is unique. The crystals form in the glaze in a chemical reaction during cooling and grow from small nuclei created during the melting process when silica and zinc come together to form zinc-silicate. The crystal glazed ware is fired to approximately 2340° Fahrenheit and then held in the kiln for cooling between 2000° Fahrenheit and 1830° Fahrenheit for approximately 3 to 5 hours depending on the glaze. Each piece is created using high fire fine porcelain.
