Description

The glaze used on this piece was referred to as "Mustard & Ketchup" by the company. It was likely a variation or close cousin to a glaze known as "Brown Sugar" (which was brown and yellow, rather than yellow and red). Blue Mountain Pottery often had descriptive names for its glazes, such as Flame, Ghost and Mountain Blue. Most often, the colours used on the work were directly inspired by the natural environment surrounding the studio, but as in this piece, experimentation in other colour families did occur as well.
