In CM, May 2009, page 68 there is an image of a fascinating pot, a deep
plate with a facetted interior coated with a black glaze that thinned to a
strong green at the intersection of the facets, around the rim and where th=
e
exterior facets modelled into the rim.

Any suggestions from the Knowledgeable about the processes involved in the
construction of this piece or the nature of the decorative process used to
embellish its surface ?.

Best regards,

I don't buy or read CM.
Is this one by Shinsaku Hamada similar?

I'll take a punt & say, formed over a carved biscuit or
plaster drape mould, dark underglaze wiped off high
points, celadon glaze overall.

Got a photo?

small-scale, seemingly constricted form that challenges the artist to
go beyond mere technical virtuosity and find an approach that both
satisfies and transcends the conventions." -- Rob Sliberman

Thankfully the picture is vague enough from the glare that the discussion i=
s
open to baseless speculation... so here's mine.
The bronze-ish hue makes me think of a copper glaze.
The surface could also be carved or built up with slip.
Is the the bluish-ness at the rim an atifact of the photo (like Ekta-chrome=
)
or indicative of porcelain body Na in the glaze. The "bronze" I've seen in
association with Li.
