Using flint, whiting, clay, feldspars and oxides they are formulated to 'react' with the flames themselves in the gas fired kiln. Controlling the firing at certain times creates the 'right' atmosphere inside the kiln where the 'burnt' gas reacts with the glazes. This type of firing is known as 'reduction' firing. It is the interaction between heat, gases and glaze materials that make Celtic Clays unique. In truth you will never get two identical pieces. Therein lies the beauty!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to the hand made nature of these items the colors and sizes will vary slightly from product to product.
