Last Glaze Fire, Pix at LAST!!

So these three pieces are from the last glaze fire. They have been sitting around for a while. One of the issues with a community firing is that some pieces don't quite fit without leaving a lot of other pieces out of the firing. So they sit... and sit ... and sit until they actually fit.  So these finally did.

This is a bud vase, SB-Red, white slip over it. Then decorated with some black and blue oxide wash. Finally it was glazed in eggshell. This created this multi-layered effect.



This pitcher has been sitting the longest, it is a bit heavy. The lip was far more distorted when it dried but opened back up during the bisque fire. That made this functional again.  This is B-Mix, with a Cobalt Oxide wash, Eggshell glaze.





I really love this pot.  I like the form, it is lighter than it looks. SB-Red, Cobalt Oxide decoration (dragon fly and then in Kenji it says "pot" and "clay"). The glaze is a Celedon on the outside, the inside is Eggshell and a bit of Celedon ran in too.

I almost want to up the price just to slow down the sale!  Even Pikachu really liked this one, and that means the world when I'm thinking about my art.
