Hi all,
I'll be making some incense burners (the bowl type that holds charcoal),
and I'm wondering if I should glaze the interior or not. Does anyone have
any experience with these, or knows if it's better to glaze or not?
TIA!

Hi Valice,
I've made many censers and incense burners, handbuilt, inlaid, slip painted
and burnished on the outside, sigillata 'glazed' on the inside. ( there are
images of a few of them on my web site) They work just fine without glaze,
but are easier to clean if the inside is smooth. The rest I think is
personal aesthetics.
The traditional native form of sage bowls here in the southwest are
handbuilt and burnished both outside and inside. There must be some
contemporary japaneese forms, but I have not been able to find much
published about them. There is a photo of some memorable porcelain insense
burners made by Alistair Whyte on pg.138 of "Contemporary Porcelain". (he
studied in Japan for some time)
There is a very interesting incense web site at
http://www.incensenipponkodo.com. Very informative about contemporary
incense, includes a catalogue, mostly incense, but a few burners of
different sorts. The only other incense burners I have found on the web are
the traditional metal ones for religious use.
Good luck on your adventure.

Hello Valice,
if you are interested in pictures of chinese traditional incense burners
(most of them are glazed inside) have a look at the catalogue "a special
exhibition of incense burners and perfumers throughout the dynasties"
published in 1994 by the national palace museum, taipei. it's quite
expansive, so try the libraries first.
ciao
