Description
Alternate view: My first attempt to replicate a bronze incense holder from (ancient?) Japan. Made using paperclay, fired to cone 5 and glazed using Georgies Matte Green glaze.Related content

Nice work Sara! What are the dimensions? That glaze has so many colors as it breaks! What is the clay body color?

It fits in the palm of my hand so.....approx 6in wide, 5 in tall. I had to paint the glaze on and thin it in some places. It is a sculptural glaze and has a LOT of variation depending on thick/thinness of application. A pretty orangish is thin, lovely lightverdigris if medium, and a deep verdigris if thick.
The clay is a white/greyish raku paperclay called Max's Raku Body by Laguna clay. It seems to fire white-ish in 04 bisque, and then get yellowish in a cone 5 glaze fire.
Thanks for all your interest!!
