This distorted work that looks like it was squeezed by a hand is one of many similarly crumpled pieces Don Pilcher produced. "Untitled" appears to contain multiple types of glazes, including a shiny luster glaze that catches the light. Glaze chemistry and firing technology were two of Don Pilcher’s expert areas. He used glaze treatments such as lead glaze, salt glaze, overglaze, underglaze, luster glazes, volcanic glazes, and tried different types of firing for different effects. His work is characterized by this spirit of experimentation, attention to detail, and technical expertise, which ultimately emphasizes the craft element of pottery.
