The pieces were first Bisque Fired to 1000 degrees - then painted with a 'crackle' glaze and re-fired to 1120 degrees. As the glaze cools - tiny hairline cracks form. The next process was to paint the pieces with black ink - the ink seeps into the tiny cracks and sets into the clay underneath ... I then wash the ink off the pieces in clear water leaving the black ink-filled cracks.
Now it's time to play ...

K These are just great and so well presented in various settings - the H in the blue bird bath looks great; and of course the Lertter Soup is a stunner. B
