The glaze chemistry responds to kiln heat, producing natural variation in tone, depth and pooling. It is intentional and it is the reason the set looks handmade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is it really blue?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It is two-tone: a beige exterior with a blue interior.
