Choice Project Paragraph:
This is a wheel-made bowl 2 1/4" tall by 3" wide. It has a wide mouth, and a deep body with a flared-out base. The footring is shallow on top, while the bottom is unevenly carved so that it goes from deep to very shallow; in contrast, it's fairly even in width and depth along the outside and top.
Done in Shadow Green, this bowl's glaze is of uneven thickness and opacity. The outside has a thin coat with thicker splotches that have run to pool along the footring. The inside has an overall thicker coat, with one side and part of the other coming out much darker than the rest. The rim glazed very thin, and like my Bowl, the glaze has a handful of pockmarks dotting the inner and outer surfaces.
With a form that allows it to be used as either a cup or a bowl, the unpredictability of a glazing's result is clearly demonstrated in this piece's sporadic drips and splashes of darker color.

I apologize for the lack of pictures, but the uploader thingy isn't cooperating at the moment. I'll try and get them on next wee
