Goblet – On the Wild Side – ht: 8cm, di at rim: 6cm. Porcelain.

On the Wild Side DSCN2682Stoneware, base coating of tenmoku DMM4 all over, inside and out, showing oil spots on inside and outside, at bottom, and where it has run a little more thickly; DMMH2 wide squirt with big-nibbed bulb (shows tan), then a second layer of same squirted with finer nib; two final fine squirts of Blanc Beurré. The DMM4 speckles nicely through the two surface glazes. The trick is to hold the pot and the squirting nibs at the right angle, for the drips to converge attractively at the back (see photo at top). For next time: I should have left some porcelain visible. (Thanks to Daniel de Montmollin and Alain Losa for glazes).
