These cups need both a coat of glaze and then, liquid contents.

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.

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.
