Oil pourer.

I've been experimenting, and this has been one of the results. Porcelain slip over terracotta, fired to stoneware temperature in the wood kiln.

Playing with a new cup shape.

As I fired the kiln today, I wanted a project I could finish without having to do anything tomorrow.

These were thrown before lunch. Trimmed and handled by mid afternoon. Then I had a chance to figure out how to apply slip without distorting them too much.

I figured out a method as ∆8 was going down and finished slipping the rest in time to relax as ∆10 and ∆11 went down.

A good day.

And now I just have to wait to open the kiln!
