This flower pot was fired in Curry Wilkinson’s wood/salt kiln in Alamance County, NC. I am really happy with how this one came out. The pictures don’t capture the subtleties of the pot.
This slip is magic. In some kilns and atmospheres, it can be dark brown, sometimes chestnut brown, sometimes orange or peach, but I’ve never got it yellow until now. You can see some points where the slip blushed orange in spots, too. I applied the slip thickly and wiped through it with a soft rib tool.
On the inside of the pot, I got some pinkish deer spots on the bare clay. You see these in old salt glazed North Carolina pots and it always excites me when I get them.
The clay body I made for this firing had a higher percentage of Mitchfield clay in it this time, as I know how well this clay takes salt firing. I think the combination of this clay and the more oxidized atmosphere of the kiln were key to these results. I am going to try to recreate them in the Pottery Center’s groundhog kiln.

Each pot I make is handmade and unique. You won’t find another one like it. I usually make shapes in batches, so maybe I will make 10 teapots in a run. Whilst the pots in this batch will be similar, I decorate them all in different ways: each one will have its own idiosyncrasies and its own charm.
Also, it’s worth noting that all of my pots are oven, microwave and dishwasher safe.
Any further questions about this pot or for anything else, please email me through the contact page. I also do commissions and orders for special occasions!
