White Vase with Seam

Another cylinder vase with a decorated seam.  This was supposed to be a bluish celedon, but that just didn't happen.  It's a nice neutral, though.

Again, pretty messy in there.

A lot of the iron in the clay got pulled out by the white glaze upon firing.

There was a bit of wipe on/wipe off action before I painted the celedon on the
seam decoration...just that little bit of thinning of the glaze really changes the surface color.

Button Vase

 To hide the seam of this hand-built cylinder vase I used both the impression and expression of a grate that covers a drain in my basement, then cut those in circles.

First, dipped in white, then painted buttons with celedon and iron saturate glazes.

Nice speckles!  And finger prints.

Clearly, I need to work on pouring evenly.  I'm very messy.
