Central to the work of Ricus as a ceramicist is a constant exploration of home-made clays and glazes, as well as experiments with different firings. He has started to add increasing quantities of organic and inorganic materials to his clays. This concrete porcelain vessel was crafted with a coarse-grained porcelain and a glaze produced by Ricus.

Ricus is adding increasing quantities of organic and inorganic materials to his clays. They quickly become apparent on the rough textured surface of the vessel after the final firing. The glaze expands during the controlled cooling in the kiln, producing a crystal-like glow.

This vessel was worked on with a coarse-grained concrete porcelain as well as a glaze produced by Ricus. The glaze expands during the controlled cooling of the ceramic in the kiln, producing a crystal-like glow. It appeals to Ricus that the more one looks at the piece, the more the different stages of production become apparent.

Using a roughly chamotted (or grogged) porcelain that he produced himself, Ricus added a pink and sand-coloured crystal glaze, also of his own production, to decorate the surface of the plate. The more one looks at the glow of the crystal glaze, the more the different stages of production become apparent.
