You dipped the leather hard bottle vases in a red iron oxide slip and applied a sgraffito treatment, scraping through the slip to the clay body. Upon firing; the iron oxide slip turning green in reduction. Then you applied a white, I assume koalin based, glaze, to the entire outside of the pot. It must have reacted to the iron oxide in the slip layer, turning the white glaze green where in contact with the iron-oxide, while remaining white where the slip had been scraped away?

Keep up the great work; these are brilliant!
This was really interesting. I loved the bowls and jugs. I did some things a long time go with iron oxide and it was a bit messy. What temperature is the final glaze.
