Unveil the Mystique of Saggar Fired Pottery!
Dive into the captivating world of artistry and nature's chemistry with the extraordinary Saggar Fired Pot. Each piece is a testament to the unique fusion of fire, earth, and organic elements, meticulously crafted to tell a story of unparalleled beauty.
Each of the hand-thrown pieces is burnished several times and then bisqued. Organic materials and items, such as feathers and leaves, are placed on the piece and fired inside a closed container, which is called a "saggar." The saggar contains combustibles, chemicals, and salt, which react when heated to over 1400 degrees. The resulting pot has no glaze. Each piece is sealed and waxed for protection but must have a plastic or glass insert to hold water. Each piece is signed and is a true original. There are no two pieces exactly alike.
