This earthenware ceramic Vitrigraph Pot was developed to improve the yield of murrini and millifiori produced using Phoenix Forms. The Vitrigraph Pot has a base hole in it of approximately 7/8 of an inch. Its dimensions are 5 inches in diameter and 5-1/2 inches tall, which makes them good for use in smaller vitrigraph kilns. The bottom of the Vitrigraph Pot has a 1-7/8 inch flat foot for stability and sitting in the hold in the bottom of your vitrigraph kiln. These pots have been fired to 1860F during production, so no shrinkage will occur during use.
Use Instructions: Place clear glass in your Vitrigraph Pot to give a level base. Put the Phoenix Form in the center of the Vitrigraph Pot and pack medium frit size clear glass around the outside so it is held in place. Leave some of the Phoenix Form above the level of the glass so you can pull it out later. Then fill the inside details with fine frit of the colors you want. Instead of frit, you can also fill the details with stringers or rods, but the goal is to have a dense packing of glass in the details. Once filled inside and outside, slowly lift the Phoenix Form out while gently tapping with a spoon. It helps to stop every 1/4 to 1/2 inch or so to tap and allow the glass exiting the Phoenix Form to fill the void below. Once the Phoenix Form is completely removed, add about a 1/2 inch more of clear glass to the top of the Vitrigraph Pot to help with final clean out.
Notes: You can certainly use colored glass around the Phoenix Form, but that color will be permanently adhered to the inside of the Vitrigraph Pot and my affect future color choices, but if clear is used around the Phoenix Form, and placed on top of the glass after the Phoenix Form has been removed, there will be almost no color left in the Vitrigraph Pot upon completion of the cycle. Also, if you allow all glass except for the small amount that coats the inside of the Vitrigraph Pot to come through the bottom of the Vitrigraph Pot, the Vitrigraph Pot will be reusable many times. Leaving glass in the Vitrigraph Pot subjects it to additional stresses and will lessen its life expectancy.
