Ash Glaze

Ash glaze is a type of ceramic glaze created using natural ash from burned plant materials, such as wood or other organic matter. When applied to pottery and fired at high temperatures, the mineral-rich ash melts and forms a smooth, glassy surface. This glaze often produces unique, streaked or mottled patterns with earthy tones, reflecting the natural composition of the ash. Historically, ash glaze was valued for its durability and distinctive aesthetic, and it remains popular among traditional potters for its natural, organic appearance.
