Lidded Pot – Silver Cloud

Moving to rounded, lidded porcelain pots. Trying to keep them light, and to find the right lines, first for the shape of the pot, then for its close-fitting lid. Hoping for a steady hand, I try to make the squirts of glaze emphasize that line. A squirt of thick tenmoku first, then, when it has partially dried, I partially cover it with a watery squirt of a tin-white glaze. Finally, a fine covering of transparent 51, using the spray gun.

Fired in oxidation, to 1250°C
