Grog: the texture of stone in a vessel
A natural clay with ground porcelain, for pieces that feel like stone.
Grog is a natural clay mixed with very finely ground porcelain. That mixture withstands the high heat of the kiln very well and doesn't deform easily.
When the grind is coarse, the grains stay visible and give the surface the texture of stone: rough, alive, with relief. You feel it under your fingertips before you see it.
That is why it is chosen for interior vases and for wall reliefs, where the presence of the piece matters more than its fineness. Each grog body has its own grain and comes out different.
You feel it under your fingertips before you see it.
