Here are some other stuff that’s gotten fired before and during the wedding cupfest.
I made quite a few of the leaf shaped Chosengaratsu glazed plates. They are small (about 7-8 inches long), and I envisioned them being used for sweets in tea ceremony, or as sashimi dishes. They are about 14mm thick, and I made them that way intentionally because I wanted a heavy form that would be stable in spite of it’s size and lack of feet. Also I felt that it would work with the heavily applied glaze. So far, nearly everyone has said they are just too heavy looking. Argh…<\/p>\n

The Madaragaratsu (white straw ash glaze) mukozuke were done in the last firing. They were bisque that had been sitting around quite a while, and I needed something to fill the load. I decorated under the glaze with a dark grey clay slip that I get from a layer of strata running pretty much through most of Saga prefecture. The Madara-yu breaks nicely over it, without running all over the place like it does over Ame-yu or iron oxide. I managed to get 3 sets of 5 out of the batch and I’ve ordered boxes so I can make gifts of them. First set to the Mama-san of a local tavern who used her connections to procure a HUGE orange pumpkin for us this Halloween. We’ve had a real hard time finding orange pumpkins for halloween here. Costco in Fukuoka had some…FOR 75 FRIGGIN DOLLARS!!!!! Just couldn’t bring myself to pay $75 for a pumpkin, go figure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
