With a fish handle and piscatorial message of advice inside.
Raw clay handle, otherwise glazed in blue-green outside and celadon inside. Handwritten script.

One jar with two lids. Why? You want the finished piece to have the best elements in combination. If I made one lid, or one handle for a jar or mug, what are the chances that that one would fit or be proportional? Make an extra (or two, or three). In this case I just finished both lids, bear and bird.
The green pot and lid have Pinnell’s Red Orange inside.
When you’ve finished salad or dessert, you see a one-word message — a wish, a blessing, a plea. I’m working on sets of eight.
I think I copied this from an ancient tripod piece I saw once. Laura’s Turquoise glaze to cone 10, cutting to gray/black.
Two smaller ewers with handles. The Pinnell’s red-orange glaze is deliberately thin on the outside — I think it looks stone-like that way — and true red inside.
Dinner plate, salt dish, and wine pitcher in temmoku.
This serving platter is about nine inches across, and is in a favorite glaze, Malcolm’s shino. It will be among items on sale tomorrow at Off the Beaten Track, 2414 Douglas St. NE in Washington DC.

With a bit of that blingy Pinnell’s red.
Cookies and milk? Rye and cashews?
Small vessel and plate in Pinnell’s Red and gunmetal.
This pot, a three-legged teapot, sold yesterday, will be going to someone’s mother for Christmas. It has a matte glaze (called “moonpax” at The Clay Queen studio in Alexandria) and a purchased bamboo handle. Forty dollars.
It was my attempt to copy a pot by Glenn Dair, without any of the grace or elegance.
