Sometimes I don’t believe that I made this. This is one of those times, but as the box has my tiny mark at the bottom, it must be so. 
I have three different recipes of ice-crackle glaze that I use, they all have different properties, provide different look and are suitable for different surfaces. This glaze on the box likes only flat surfaces as its runny, but then it produces amazing play of light when light reflects through the cracks of the glaze.
Making a teapot is said to be the mother of all challenges. I admit it’s tough, but it’s also the most rewarding challenge of them all. When you make a teapot, you’re focusing on functionality and technical skills. It’s all about function and purpose first.
I’ve made a video how those treasure boxes with ice crackle glaze start their journey from a lump of clay into a final functional form.
This snowflake glazed (or ice crackle glazed) platter did not come out from the kiln in one piece. And honestly, I am happy it did not withstand the firing, it gave me another opportunity.
