A clear glaze over a red earthenware clay gives a red oxide effect Marcus ...
not sure if this is the case here, but it's lovely all the same

Hi Ev,
I'm a real novice when it comes to the pigments etc used in the colouring process for pottery,
but its got an amazing Ox blood sort of hue to it.
I like the Paka pieces for their solid form and simple striking colours.
And also thanks heaps for doing such a great job of posting all of our images, it's much appreciated.
Cheers
Marcus.

Ox blood definitely is RED RED .....
Copper Oxide turns an ox blood red in reduction firings ...
I want to see this piece in real life one day .... mustn't forget!

I'm still pondering this piece ....
It's red earthenware .... maybe the rich red is a cadmium glaze ?
Though I've never seen it used on red earthenware clay......it's a possibility

It's been a pleasure to post photos of your fanastic Pottery collection on the site Marcus
