Why do these pots glint like metal? Pieces scattered through the catalog photograph with a metallic, pewter-like luster — from the wild-clay stretch to the dark run around 1829–1844: 1692’s dark chocolate upper body sparkles under the light, 1697 carries silvery patches beside a glassy amber-olive band at its rim, and 1706’s bark-like crust shines silver on every raised ridge.
The sheen is a salt-firing effect: the pieces are salt-fired, and salt vapor in the kiln flashes the clay with a pewter-like metallic luster, no applied glaze involved. A piece may pair it with other surfaces — 1697’s rim also carries a glassy amber-olive band the store calls “Ash-Glazed” — so each page keeps to what its own photos show.
