A white slip (liquid clay) is applied over a darker clay body, creating a soft, powdery surface that contrasts with the raw clay beneath. On this teapot, the Kohiki slip serves as the canvas for the kiln's coloration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe teapot is fired in a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003esoda wood-kiln\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e at approximately 1300°C. During the firing, a solution of soda ash (sodium carbonate) is sprayed into the kiln . The soda vaporizes and reacts with the silica in the Kohiki slip and clay body, creating a natural glassy glaze on the surface. Wood ash from the pine fuel also deposits on the pot, contributing to the color development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe interaction between the soda vapor, the Kohiki slip, and the kiln atmosphere produces the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003esoft blue and pink\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e coloration.
