Molasses stays in the bowl rather than running down into the stem, and the burn moves slower across the pack.

The food-safe glaze is applied between bisque firing at 950°C and the final glaze firing between 1240 and 1280°C.

The main variation is in the unglazed cream band at the rim, where the kiln contact line lands slightly differently on each bowl. Subtle compared to the other Ashera colourways, but still hand-made and never identical to the listing photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this bowl work with a Provost screen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Provost screens sit on the bowl rim under the foil to slow heat transfer and extend session length — useful with dark leaf brands like Tangiers that benefit from a gentler ramp-up. The Eclipse is well-suited to Provost setups because the dark glaze hides any molasses staining that builds up over a long session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is Eclipse priced the same as the other Ashera colourways?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause they're functionally the same bowl. Same shape, same capacity, same Turkish stoneware body, same firing process, same compatibility with the Kaloud Lotus 1+. The four Ashera colourways are a glaze choice — Eclipse leans dramatic and dark, the others lean in different visual directions. Performance and value are identical across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; margin:28px 0; background:#f7f1ea; border:1px solid #a76a3b; border-radius:2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:20px 24px; color:#3d2817;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0; font-weight:700; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1.2px; font-size:13px; color:#7a3e0e;\"\u003eHandmade in Turkey — What to Expect\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0; color:#3d2817;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#3d2817;\"\u003eMIT stands for Made In Turkey.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every MIT bowl is fully handmade — hand-shaped, hand-finished, and twice-fired in small batches by Turkish ceramicists.
