Post 75 New pots

The bow tie clamped pot of the last post went into the kiln with 4 others - yes squeezed 5 in this time. Here are the other 4.

 

 Pot 27 has been hanging around for a while, given I'm now into the 50s. It was an early unflanged Sabani and has finished up at  344 x 238 x 79 in a green toned off-white satin glaze.



 Pot 38 Is similar as 27 except that it has the rim flange. After having made a few of these it is clearer now how to keep them in the shape I want and this one has worked well. Glazed in a dark slate satin glaze and final size of 357 x 252 x 79.




 Pot 42 This Wasen pot is the first one that I've tried the 'planking' wall texture with the squared rim flange; quite boat like. Size is 420 x 238 x 79 and the glaze is a satin mint green colour that I've used before but this time took the copper from 2.25. to 3%. The deeper colour on the highspots works well. Here's a more detailed shot.




And the last for this firing is a Bekabune , Pot 45, in antique parchment satin. Final size is 350 x 257 x 64.
