Clay: brown stoneware
- Label
-
Only two glaze colors--green and brown--appear on Khmer stoneware vessels. The basic glaze was mixed from wood ash, clay, and water, and the color of the fired glaze depended in part upon the percentage of iron in the glaze solution. A small amount of iron oxide occurring naturally in the glaze materials tinted the glaze green, while the addition of more iron produced brown or black. Khmer potters applied green glaze to vessels made of white clay and brown glaze to those formed from brown clay. Sometimes, however, they created dramatic contrast by applying both glazes to the same vessel, as on this jar. In such cases, they applied a thin coating of white clay over the dark clay body in the areas where the green glaze would go.
