Through trial, error, and sheer persistence, Mary Chase Perry Stratton developed her first successful Iridescent glaze in 1906. Establishing the formula and stabilizing the firing process took another three years. Today our Iridescent pieces are fired somewhat similarly, though with safer materials. It requires a third firing and a process called fuming–– when vegetable oil is injected into the kiln to create extraordinary one-of-a-kind effects. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6” x 6”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandcrafted in Detroit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIndividually hand-pressed in our own stoneware and glazed by Pewabic artisans\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePewabic logo stamped on back\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlight variations in glaze and firing results ensure each handcrafted Pewabic piece is one of a kind\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in Blush Iridescent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pewabic Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Blush","offer_id":43526670745654,"sku":"22893","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/0917\/0235\/files\/celtic2025-65.jpg?v=1746120508","url":"https:\/\/www.pewabic.shop\/products\/thistle-tile-iridescent","provider":"Pewabic Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
