This gaiwan is made from a mixture of glacial and ball clay, and finished with an oak ash glaze. The bottom inch or so of the exterior has been left unglazed, to give a sense of the clay and create a beautiful contrast between the smooth and rough sections.
Made from clays hand-dug by the artist from various locations throughout Minnesota. Mitch tests all of his clay for heavy metals and other contaminants to ensure they are food safe
