Past pots

Platter 5" x 13" with dip bowl.

Approx. 10" high and 8"x 4" wide.  I have made much larger ones since.  Jillian has my largest one in her new kitchen.  The microcrystalline iron saturate glaze contains high-iron lake mud from our cottage.  At cone 10 it melts as is, like very dark Albany Slip, but at cone 6 I have to add a feldspar, a flux and more iron.

Past pots

Tea pot 5", capacity of 2 cups.

Pitcher 7.5" h, capacity of 6 cups.

Leaf platter 7" w x 12" l, with small dip bowl.

Two leaf platters, the larger one being 7"x12" and the smaller one 4.5" x 10".

The set includes two small dip bowls suitable for sauces. These are in a light green, semi-transparent "celadon" glaze. The same set is shown below.
