Saltglazed stoneware is a trademark of Walter Keeler's work. The slightly rough, pitted texture of saltglaze is often likened to orange peel. Saltglaze is produced by throwing salt onto the fire in the kiln when the temperature is at its highest. The heat splits the salt compound sodium chloride, evaporating as chlorine whilst the sodium combines with the silica in the clay to produce the glassy coating of sodium silicate.
