Barbara Heard Handcrafted Green Glaze Round Covered Jar With Saquaro Motif and Turquoise Color Stone embellishment. Excellent condition. Measures 11\" in height. Signed \"Barbara Heard 9911419\" on bottom. All Barbara Heard Pottery I have listed was created in the mid to late 90\'s.
Pit fired pottery is at the mercy of the flame and smoke of an untamed fire.
To create a successful piece, I begin on the potter\'s wheel forming the white clay into large rounded forms.
Each piece is fired when dry to 1900 degrees. Then it is placed in seawater to absorb the salt.a pit is dug in the
sand and lined with the pottery, sawdust, and other combustible materials. Sea breezes and weather conditions
change the wisps of smoke as they bring color to the pottery. The fire burns for at least eight hours before a
beautiful piece of pottery emerges out of the smoking ash.
