He made one and had difficulty reproducing  the color, which turned out to be this turquoise. The color was difficult for potters at the time to reproduce. Finally achieved in 1929, when he first fired pieces with the turquoise glaze in his newly constructed wood kiln. The results were better than he hoped for.Walter Stephen's transparent, glassy turquoise glaze developed decorative patterns of glaze cracks during cooling. These cracks are considered by most potters to be a technical fault and Stephen, himself, at first attempted to eliminate the crackle effect from the glaze. Finding the decorative effect greatly admired by buyers, however, Stephen continued the crackle glaze and turquoise became the pottery's most popular glaze.This fine turquoise crackle vase has the glossy thick glaze, it is stunning.
