From our personal archives, this reduction lustre tile by the late Marjory Clinton glows with a warm copper -ember patina , achieved through an oxygen-reduced second firing that draws metallic character out from within the glaze itself.

This piece is all about quiet, earthy radiance. A burnished copper -brown ground is scattered with fine granular speckling and darker tonal pooling, like oxidised metal , fired clay, and weathered mineral surfaces folded into one.

Up close, the texture feels particulate and alive, with tiny shifts in sheen that catch light softly rather than shouting for it. It is a perfect example of why reduction lustre is so prized: the finish is not applied, it is earned through kiln atmosphere, timing, and nerve.

Beautiful as a single object tile, within a framed panel, or used as an accent where warmth and depth are needed. Presented as a homage to Marjory Clinton and the lineage of lustre craft she helped preserve.
