The last ^10 kiln of the year was also unloaded on Sunday and we got lots of nice Christmas surprises. Thanks Julie for firing the kiln! Below are pictures of some of them along with a Shiner Holiday Cheer bottle for scale.
The pot with the wax resist over shino.
The wax completely burned out and left no trace.
It happens, but I like the shino variations.
Latest "crackle" pot.
If you need a definition of the word "luck", this would be it.
The marble on the knob ran down the whole pot and stopped less
than a quarter of an inch from the bottom in a big, juicy drip.
I'm likin' it.
Some of the design on this plate burned out, but I still like it.
I like this little teapot for it's form,
but unfortunately it's got a compression crack in the bottom.
It'll still look nice on my shelf --just don't pick it up.
This is an odd piece but I have enjoyed it's process.
When I made it I was looking for a semi-flat surface to decorate.
Side view to show how "squashed" it is.
Other side...
... and yes, the lid comes off.

Funny that there is no trace at all of the wax resist on the shino, lovely pot regardless. Have you ever used Malcom Davis shino with the wax resist? Lush stuff.
It seems that marble pot was meant to be, huh?
Wow, that marble pot is beautiful, so happy it ran just so. I love the deco on the squished pot too, great work. Happy holidays to you and your family.
Oh I just enlarged the crackle pot, very nice indeed, beautiful crackle
Jerry-
We have a shino we just call Malcolm's which usually crawls a bit which can create a "brain" type effect.
Re: Marble. I'm usually pretty lucky on the firings, but that was a standout.
Linda-
Thanks, the deco on the squished pot wasn't exactly as I had envisioned it, but I like it too.
I see more crackle pots in 2010.
and I was lucky and got to see these in person!
Merry Christmas--
Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too!
