Tenmoku
A reduction fired transparent glaze with about 10% iron oxide that fires to a variegated deep maroon to black and which breaks to iron-red crystallized areas where thin. Kaki glazes are closely related, however they contain more iron oxide so that crystallization occurs over the whole surface. In Bound Links
