Ceramic weed pot by Doyle Lane, c. 1962-1976. Volcanic glazed earthenware. Lane produce many small vessels, experimenting with clay textures and glazes. Here we see an example of his reddish-orange "orange peel" effect with the top glaze revealing a second glazed layer underneath. Volcanic glazed earthenware is also known as "fat lava" or crater glaze. Its textured, crater-like surface is created during firing, when gases are released.
