Digitalfire will shut down on June 26. I no longer have the authority to grant exemption to a section in the Terms and Conditions of using material in the Insight-Live account from which I built the source material. While there are ways to comply with the take-down order, they are beyond my means because of how complex and large the site has become in the past 35+ years. It has been a wild ride for a shy prairie boy, thanks to everyone for your support. Insight-live.com is not affected by this.
Made in the mid-1970s. The body was H41G (now H441G), it had 20 mesh ironstone concretions that produced large iron blotches in reduction firing. Luke Lindoe loved to use these clays to show off the cone 10 reduction firing process that he was promoting in the 1960s and 70s. Tony was inspired by the natural rustic stoneware surfaces Luke created on both sculptural and thrown pieces, especially by how the iron speckle bled up through glazes. He made large numbers of these bowls, they showcased the clay surface on the outside and glazed designs on the inside. They proved a good testing ground for matching the thermal expansion of glaze and body (needed to produce strength and resistance to breakage).
