'The pot was fired in a large wood-fired kiln for 5 days to about 1340 C. It was placed at the back of the main stoking area and would have been repeatedly covered in embers for much of that time. The "glaze" is the result of ash from the fire and embers settling on the pot and melting at high temperature. The pot started the firing upright bjt the weight of embers forced it to lean backwards against the kiln step behind it (hence the indentation near its base). the very dark colours are from the intense reduction atmosphere caused by the ember bed. The pot went into the kiln with no applied glaze. Thus the firing process not only hardened the pot, it also decorated it in a kind of controlled accident.'referenceterm-107700adlib-term-1077008f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848Elizabeth IIreferenceterm-109891adlib-term-109891ad6efeb2-90e2-3107-ada3-8348ed09c40f21st Century, Earlyreferenceterm-120820adlib-term-120820158123a7-a0e6-3ffc-9181-34b5e36cdacaliteralEnglandEnglandcountryliteralDevonDevonregionBeaworthyreferenceterm-42825adlib-term-42825858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39dstonewareHeightcm62referenceterm-89389adlib-term-89389c00f24e8-508b-3432-9eec-6ddac5df8732jarobject namereferenceterm-42692adlib-term-4269268c2b295-0e5f-3e4e-ac86-2aebb8653b91Studio Ceramicscategoryhistory notePurchased from Svend Bayer by the donorreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumRef.
