Bird Matte Dinner Bowl
Red/white clay mix; Bird Matte Orange glaze; 7" diameter and 2.5" tall
This bowl is just the right size for a meal-for-one - I am totally in love with the way the glaze moved from the edges of the rim to form red/brown lines, and also from the swirl of the clay in the middle at the bottom. I tried something new here with the foot (bottom,) where it is sort of rounded like a tube, and I kind of like how that turned out.
Biggest fault with this one, though, is that I made the rim too angular at the edge, so it is very susceptible to nicks and chips. When I was trimming it, before the first firing, even then a tiny chip came off the rim. I've learned my lesson, though, so now I'm trying to make rims a little more dulled. I really love this glaze, though, especially on red clay, so I'll probably be doing a bit more of it.
