shino

shino

Classic Japanese glaze ranging from gray to white to orange, often containing spodumene or other source of lithium, and/or nepheline syenite. The orange color is achieved with thinner glaze coating when fluxes in the glaze activate iron content in the claybody. In the West, many potters seek shinos which break from off-white to orange, often with carbon-trapping effects. Carbon trapping can be accentuated with a brush coat of saturated soda-ash solution.
