Hyacinth pot - Silver Crystal (2nd grade)

Hyacinth pot with silver-gray Crystal glaze in size x-small.

This product is 2nd grade as it is a bit thinner glazed than I had intended. There is otherwise nothing wrong with it. 

About the Crystal glaze
The Crystal Glaze is an enchanting acquaintance, it fascinates, sparkles and steals the image with all its 'glossyness'. The formation of the crystals is a combination of the material & ingredients in the glaze as well as the temperature of the firing. Some of the ingredients are attracted to each other at particular temperatures and thereby the crystals grow in the surface. I control the temperature changes in the firing and thus I shape the crystals. I can control the shape, size and color, but where and how many come - it is an interplay between the porcelain and the glaze.

Crystal glaze is a 'difficult friend' who is very sensitive to heat, thickness and certainly also weather conditions - there are always challenges with a Crystal glaze, which makes it extremely exciting to open an oven - every time even after more than 12 years.
