Flotsam

From yesterday’s kiln; a small bowl, as a test for a couple of big bowls that are just out of the bisque kiln. These new ones I’ve made much wider and shallower, hoping that applying the trails of glaze will then be less treacherous. With the  sharper curve as seen here, if the glaze is just a little too wet, it tends to break away from the sweep of the line, creating a new, discordant line downwards… Washing everything off, and starting over, is time consuming and more than a little frustrating. I’ve added a sprinkling of white to the outside, as a link between the inner and outer surface.

Di: 15 cm, ht: 6 cm. Cone 6, porcelaneous stoneware.
