Bands of deep indigo and teal drift across the surface like northern lights over a dark horizon, blending into an inky Obsidian base. Soft, glossy runs give the glaze a sense of motion, while the rounded handle and smooth rim make each sip a slow, luminous pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A favorite in contemporary pottery studios, the Northern Lights glaze combo is known for its dynamic, one-of-a-kind flow. Using AMACO Obsidian, Indigo Float, Smokey Merlot, and Seaweed, each firing reveals new rhythms of color, layered drips, and subtle transitions that can never be repeated exactly the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"828\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_6806-1024x828.jpg\" alt=\"Northern Lights combo Mug by Sara Hale Bates\" class=\"wp-image-10470\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_6806-1024x828.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_6806-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_6806-768x621.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_6806-850x687.jpg 850w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_6806.jpg 1460w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clay body:<\/strong> Iceman porcelain, handbuilt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Glazes:<\/strong> AMACO Obsidian x3 (base, double-layered), <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>zig-zag accents of <strong>AMACO Indigo Float<\/strong> on top x3 <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AMACO Smokey Merlot<\/strong> through the middle x3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AMACO Seaweed  x3 <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fired to<\/strong> a hot Cone 6 for a rich, glassy finish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=sara-hale-bates\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"1089\">Sara Hale Bates<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ChatGPT said:<\/p>\n<p>This handbuilt porcelain mug by Sara Hale Bates captures the beauty of the Northern Lights, with layered AMACO glazes Obsidian, Indigo Float, Smokey Merlot, and Seaweed blending into a deep, glassy finish fired to Cone 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":44,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,17],"tags":[904,847,830,521,260,440,1089,853,1061,64,885],"class_list":["post-10471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-combos","category-mugs","tag-amaco","tag-cone-6","tag-iceman","tag-indigo-float-2","tag-northern-lights","tag-obsidian","tag-sara-hale-bates","tag-seaweed","tag-seaweed-over-obsidian","tag-smokey-merlot","tag-smokey-merlot-over-obsidian"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10471"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10726,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10471\/revisions\/10726"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
