I like the one on the left too, the neck seems to be the best balance to the bottom of the pot. I hope to some day get a few pieces I make fired in a wood kiln.
These are soooooo elegant. The form and decoration work perfectly together. Wood would be good, but I'm willing to bet that your firing will add to their elegance.
That looks like hours of carving to me. They are all so beautiful, you're right, a wood kiln may be a fun place to fire them but they will also look great with what you've been doing.
Thanks to all for the nice feedback! If I didn't need new work for the Celebration of Seagrove Potters next month, I would hold off on firing these until I could get them in a wood kiln... since that isn't an option they will most likely be the gloss green glaze. I may use nuka on the insides and rims, instead of shino. I did some bowls in that combo in the last firing and really liked it.
I welcome and appreciate comments. Lately I have had a lot of spam and therefore have had to turn on word verification as well as comment moderation for posts older than 14 days.

ReplyDeleteWonderful carving...what glazes do you plan to use, since you're not wood firing?
