Once glazed, each piece is fired in a blazing hot wood-burning oven (were talking over a thousand degrees!) for more than twenty-four hours. Something about the alchemy of that specific local clay, dipped in that particular glaze and slowly fired at that extreme temperature results in our Zohra Bowls distinctive shade (or, more accurately, shades) of green.
