Rust-Red Lidded Casserole with Ribbed Handles

Red/white clay mix; randy's red glaze; 8" diameter and 4.25" tall; 10" wide and 6" tall including detailing

I had made a casserole dish back in November and was sad that it sold at the sale I participated in. Sad... in the way that $30 in your pocket makes you sad... only a little.

This one is an homage to the original. it is a little smaller (8" diameter instead of 11) but I think the execution is better (handles look less amateur, lid fits a lot better.) The glaze didnt come out with quite as much red highlighting, but it's pretty bad-ass nonetheless. The interior did do a similar reddening based on the reduction reaction happening because I fired the top and bottom together.


Now that I have all this time off, I'll have to cook a bad-ass casserole to go in my dish.



On a non-pottery related note... I bought an iPod Nike+ sport kit today. Now that I'm training for an 8K and half-marathon, I've got to step up (PUN INTENDED) my workouts. Everyone at my sister's company got iPod nanos for the holidays (WHAT THE HECK? we got fleeces. Juliet wins.) My current iPod often stops working halfway through a run, so I'm buying a nano from one of her co-workers. with that, the Nike+, and my new workout clothes (see yesterday's post below,) I'm going to be a running MANIAC. Or at least a nerd with a pink jacket and expensive electronics.
