Hi Folks,
I'm back again and wanted to post a picture of a pot I recently bought at an an estate sale. This is from Bill Slane, in the Northern California town of Jackson. Apparently he went to San Jose State and worked with Herbert Sanders in the 70's (maybe earlier). There were some pretty interesting Crystalline pieces, a number of which appeared to have some "non vanilla" firing or post firing processes - reduction, etching, lusters?? One piece looked like a copper raku piece with crystals, another gold. Here is the piece I bought - I would appreciate you thoughts on the glaze colorants or firing process.
