Wood fired vase with shino glaze and heavy natural ash deposits. The piece was fired on its side on seashells causing streams of melted ash to flow down and drip from what is now the front of the Piece. The last drop was frozen as the kiln cooled and remains a permanent part of the pot. You can also see the shell scars where the pot was resting on four scallop seashells during firing. The shells are almost pure calcia, and have a very high melting point. They remain unmelted during the firing, however, after firing, they are brittle and crumble away leaving a glass casting where the glaze has melted around them.
