1st day of Kindergarden for Potters (my first mug)

Large Shino Mug
White clay; Shino glaze; 4" diameter and 4" tall
This was actually the first mug I ever made. The only reason I hadnt posted it yet was that it was at the office holding my coffee most days until recently.
She has a twin... but her twin is somewhat deformed. I keep him in the basement.
I used a glaze called Shino on this. It is a very drippy glaze that shows a lot of variation - so I didnt actually paint the rim brown, thats just how this glaze behaves. Anywhere there is an edge or a high-point (from which the glaze moves away,) it is brown/red. Anywhere the glaze pools, it is tan/yellow.
