The burnt wood produces ash and volatile salts that often settle on the clay during firing, causing a natural ash glaze. "Mercer" exhibits a varied textural surface, differing from Takaezu’s classically smooth works. A fiery red hue emanates from the base of the piece, while blue and purple subtly shifts into gray and earth tones.1of 2 -
