New Tea Pots (:

This one has a flaw so I didn't put it into a gallery but I liked the shape. Fun to make.

This weeks kiln was a treasure chest and totally unexpected because most of it was refire pots. I am finding that this is one of the perks of cone 6 electric firing, if you don't like the pot, reglaze it and throw it back in. I had mixed up a 'red' recipe I had gotten from the ceramics magazine and glazed the inside of one of my 11" bowls with it. It came out a slightly darker version of pepto bismol, so I sprayed it with my cobalt black glaze and put it back in.

Another gem was this 14" platter, the celadon glaze crazed like old Japanese and Chinese pottery made centuries ago, making the piece look old and new at the same time.
