Another set of porcelain goblets

My intention was to repeat the DMM4 goblet with the 66 (which turns golden), and add a squirt of BB (white). The effect is quite unexpected: the covering layer of 66 does lighten the tenmoku, but does not turn to gold; here it settles at the lower edge, turning blue. The tin white (BB) works well. Transparent 51 poured inside, dipped on rim, and lightly sprayed over the outside

Fired in oxidation, to 1260°C

Compare with the earlier DMM4 +66:
