Pottery with Leaf Prints, Pit fired Pottery, Wood saving Fired Pottery, Pottery with Leaves, Sawdust fired Pottery, Small Smokeware Container

Wood and sawdust fired piece in a pit behind my studio. A tasteful piece of smokeware to add to your collection. As an American Indian tradition, this multipurpose piece packs a mix of smoky colors. A decorative leaf imprint created from a pit firing makes an excellent dry storage container.

Pit firing is the first method known for firing clay pieces. Ceramic pieces are placed into a fire pit and a wood fire is carefully built around and on top. Other burnables are added to create a blush of color from the firing.

The clay body remains very porous saving and is suitable for an assortment of dry goods.
This unique piece would make a great gift and fit into any home decor.
