Low fire is easy. But at higher temperatures, the ingredients in yellow glazes fire out.  Never, until nine years ago, when Otto mixed the magic formula, has anyone else been able to consistently produce a yellow glaze of this type. It's a beautiful matte lemon yellow; the wood kiln adds a random peach blush to the pots. Otto's formula is committed to memory; no one else knows the secret combination and their exact percentages.”                  This gem measures 3 7/8” x 3 7/8” and is in mint condition- no chips, cracks or repairs.   It is signed and dated by Otto Heino on the underside.                 ABOUT OTTO HEINO: Ojai ceramic artist Otto Heino, who worked as a team with his wife Vivika until her death in 1996, is internationally renowned for the technical and aesthetic mastery of his work.
