DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Near-spherical moon jar part thrown and partly coiled from red stoneware which has blackened where exposed to the firing. Narrow fragmented rim, torn away so that half hangs down into the interior, and shoulder dented and ripped to one side. Irregular pieces of clay applied around the shoulder add to the crepuscular surface built up from layers of dripped slips and thick crackled blue-white and slime-green glazes, together suggesting a volcanic eruption which has left both icy cold and carbonised heat remains – perhaps the surface of the moon itself. The interior more smoothly glazed.
object type: Thrown and coiled red stoneware, porcelain slip, paper fibre, wood ash and glaze.
title:	moon jar
