Our Granite clay body has a unique appearance, as it is high fired stoneware with iron flecks. At times, the iron flecks may appear to bleed in the clay body, creating unique patches of red or orange. This is a natural occurrence, when the iron meets with high temperatures in the kiln. It is part of the beautiful process of hand making pottery, and is not considered a fault. We hope that you enjoy the one-of-a-kind finish that is our Granite clay, and all its lovely imperfections.
