Zacatecas Woodfired One-Hitter
We designed our smokeware line with the intention of elevating and artfully reimagining the look and feel of everyday smoking accessories. Discreet and modern, our Zacatecas pipe fits just as readily in the palm of your hand as it does in your purse or pocket, so you can take this bat with you anywhere you go.
Handmade and then handfired for over fifty hours in the wood kiln at Reitz Ranch in late October (2021).
____________________
Woodfiring is a very specialized and labor intensive form of ceramic firing in which wood is the only fuel used to heat the kiln. The kiln is stoked entirely by hand for the duration of the firing which can last up to a week and a half (day and night) reaching temperatures of ~2400 degrees Farenheit, (Cone 12).
The ceramic surfaces achieved through woodfiring are the combined effect of the flame and ash inside the kiln interacting with the clay. The shape and size of the kiln, how the pots are arranged inside the kiln, and how it is tended to during the firing all have a tremendous effect on the final results.
Each wood-fired piece is thus completely unique and functions as a record of its environment during the firing—a window into the kiln during that particular moment in time; both an artifact and a treasure.
.75”H x 4” W / wood-ash glazed porcelain
*Please note: these are a grab bag pick and each pipe is unique, see photos for examples of the range of colors (aka. flashing and ash variation) you can expect
