Trimmed while damp, the sides are carefully pushed inwards and upwards to provide the swirling distortion of the rim. The bowl is then dipped in a high-seas colour glaze, with further multiple layers of  glazes either poured or squirted onto the inner surface. A fine spray of iron-rich glaze, applied with an atomiser, provides a darker tone to the raised rims.
