The glaze is a dolomite matte. G2571A, fired to cone 10R. High-fire reduction is among the best processes to exploit the variegating magic of rutile.

| Glossary |
Phase Separation
Phase separation in glaze melts creates microscopic discontinuities that affect transparency, color variegation, matte surfaces, and reactive glaze effects. |
| Glossary |
Reactive Glazes
In ceramics, reactive glazes have variegated surfaces that are a product of more melt fluidity and the presence of opacifiers, crystallizers and phase changers. |
| Glossary |
Crystallization
Ceramic glazes form crystals on cooling if the chemistry is right and the rate of cool is slow enough to permit molecular movement to the preferred orientation. |
| Materials |
Ceramic Rutile
Rutile mineral ground to a very fine particle size (e.g. 325 mesh) contributes titanium and iron that colors and variegates ceramic glazes. |
