Handmade Horse Hair sale Ceramic Pot - Western Horse Hair Pottery Design

This horsehair fired pot was first hand thrown on the pottery wheel, then after drying it was bisque fired. The piece was then heated to 1300 degrees, at which point it was removed from the kiln and strands of horsehair were applied to its hot surface. As the horsehair burnt off, it left behind a black carbon trail, giving the piece it's design. Every sale piece fired in this technique is unique. After cooling it was finished with wax polish. As this pot is a decorative piece, it is not meant to hold water. It is 5 inches by 6 inches in size.
