New Zealand Rock Glazes
Matemateonga
Glazed with rock sourced from Paraninihi/Mt Messenger, Taranaki and the Matemateonga formation. This 6 million-year-old iron-rich marine mudstone produces an oily blue-black and rust-red Tenmoku glaze.
​
Celadon
During the Taupo eruptions, a fiery rock cloud of dust, ash, and pumice blanketed the landscape of the central North Island of New Zealand.
This ash now is revealed below the soil line in roadside cuttings across the central north island and produces this clear green, iron flecked, Celadon glaze.

​
Mangapēpeke
