Loading the bisque kiln — a new thing for me — is like loading a dishwasher without shelves. Where the dishes can break if you pick them up wrong.
It’s firing now, up to about 1,200 deg. F., then cooling off tomorrow.
And no, I don’t know what that blue thing is either.

Small baker in a wheat ash glaze. A little bit of mac and cheese can be so satisfying.
(The stamped initials are a sign of authenticity.)
If it were a sheet, the thread count would be about 2 per inch. The glaze is tenmoku with dash of Ben’s blue.
With a fish handle and piscatorial message of advice inside.
Raw clay handle, otherwise glazed in blue-green outside and celadon inside. Handwritten script.

Close-up of signature chop.
I think I copied this from an ancient tripod piece I saw once. Laura’s Turquoise glaze to cone 10, cutting to gray/black.
