Khewra Tray
This saggar-fired tray brings to mind a beautiful sunset over the mountains. The colors are completely random, with no glaze involved, produced by the interaction of heat with organic materials such as onion skins, banana peels, coffee grounds and salt. It would be a stunning accent piece, holding a few decorative objects. Pottery produced with this method is usually still porous, but this piece has been sealed with a quartz solution to make it waterproof and food safe (though not dishwasher safe).
Length: 16”
Width: 7”
Height: 1-1/4”
Pink Himalayan salt doesn’t actually come from the Himalayas. It comes from the Salt Range, mountains in northern Pakistan. The largest salt mine in the region is the Khewra Mine. The salt deposits were created by ancient sea beds which dried and crystallized. The pink hue comes from trace amounts of iron oxide.
