Unloaded the kiln this morning to the welcome sight of nicely fired pots. Most everything came through ok or better, with a few exceptions. Like I mentioned in the previous water jar post, I figured I’d lose about half in the firing. Turns out 4 of the 6 are keepers, a new record for me.
These were all fired on shells to keep the feet clean. They will be used with black lacquer-ware  lids.<\/p>\n

I glazed a bit differently than usual, and fired a bit differently than usual too. Instead shutting down the kiln when cone 11 touched, I let the temp drop to around 1060C and re-lit the burners, and soaked at 1050C for one hour. This allowed the glazed to develop some crystals, making them a bit less glossy than usual. The ame glaze also developed deeper color. I’ll definitely be doing this again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
