Like most things in ceramics, the crawl glaze has historic origins. Many say the earliest examples were high feldspar Shino glazes in Japan. Potters and glaze chemists with a proclivity for the strange and bizarre have been messing around with it ever since. The crawl glaze you see used today takes what is often considered a flaw and dials it up to the extreme. It’s probably the farthest from our roots we’ve traveled; it’s weird and wonderful, and feels surprisingly lovely in the hand. - Alex Matisse, CEO & Co-Founder
