Three dishes with variations of this design came out of the last kiln. This one was the nicest as the brown earth in the middle glowed- it was just a lighter tone from being higher (cooler) in the kiln. I'll adjust the oxides in the slip so that I can be assured of repeating this colour. This is how I end up with litearlly dozens of small pots of coloured slips, it's a nightmare. Then I read Ron's blog on deliberate restraints...if only I could be so disciplined. ( I dare not even mention the shelf loads of small tubs of glazes)!

Christine,
ReplyDeleteI love this pot. Great design and the colors are wonderful. I love the orange beaks and feet.
I agree Ron, it's a beauty
ReplyDeletei really like the way you finish the pieces with the edges, it's a statement all on its own..
