Soda "Pop" Vase by Doug Johnson

Introduce unique colour and texture to your home decor with the Soda "Pop" Vase by Doug Johnson. This uniquely designed vase boasts a square opening hidden below the round neck. Fired with a process known as soda-firing this vase is left with unique marks that can never be recreated.  The wide range of vibrant yellow tones give depth and life to this piece.

What is Soda-firing?

Soda-firing is the process in which sodium oxide (soda) is introduced into the hot kiln. Once inside, it will vaporize and interact with the red hot surfaces of the work leaving beautiful flashes of colour and glaze. As the sodium vapour flows through and around the glowing hot pottery, it binds to the silica molecules on their surfaces to create a glassy glaze which tapers into gradients of colour called flashing. Since the soda fuses to the surfaces of the work in this way, it blurs the line between pot and glaze/surface; they become one. The introduction of this soda vapour into the kiln’s atmosphere which then has a dramatic effect on the pots makes this process, much like wood-firing, an atmospheric firing process.
