Mini vases, porcelain: Storms River

Results from another kiln firing.Instead of laying a jet of tenmoku down and leaving most of the porcelain visible as I was doing in my earlier series, here I am using it as the base glaze all over the outer surface. However, I highlight the porcelain by leaving a margin of white at the base and at the top by using latex on those edges, and only then dipping the pot into the glaze. Next I lay down a squirt of white, followed by a rutile-baded glaze, giving the blue. Transparent glaze over the rim and down the inside. Fired to 1260°C; height: 6-7 cms, diameter slightly greater than height.
