Moon jar
Moon jar
This moon jar was fired in the Pleasant Hill anagama. It is made of a porcelain clay that I developed at Utah State University and contains chunks for granite and basalt that I collected and crushed up.
The firing duration was 108 hours and 8 minutes. This means that the crew is putting wood in the kiln for 5 days and nights! We used lots of hardwood and doug fir. I love the surface that resulted from this process. Every pot that comes out of this kiln is unique and could never be replicated.
I really like the subtle natural stone-like finish on this pot and hope it finds a good home!

My pots are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. They are made with stoneware clay and fired to cone 10, which is about 2300 degrees Fahrenheit.
If a pot you like is sold out, let me know and I can try to make you a similar one. I also take commissions of all sorts, so just email me if you have an idea.
I ship internationally quite often; this is no problem, but it may require a little extra postage. It is hard to estimate as it changes from country to country. For international orders, I will contact you if there is a big difference in the shipping cost after I ship the pots.
I typically ship with USPS or UPS and send tracking information after posting each order.
