Hourglass Carved Flower Vase in Nebular Purple, 11.25"h (Ben Owen III) Teapots A range of colors isThe Nebular Purple glaze is a recent creation from experimenting with cobalt glazes in the wood kiln. The slow cooling of the kiln creates the light purple micro crystals along the surface. The melon lines reflect the influence that nature has on Ben III's designs.
