First Plate Paragraph
This is a plate thrown on the wheel, and is 1/4" tall by 8 1/2" wide. A little lopsided and somewhat uneven in shape, it has a low lip and raised, slightly domed center with a prominent groove between them. The base is rounded down, with a light out-carving between the lip and the base. The final glaze is a swirled-together mix of matt dark turqoise and semi-shiny dark blue, with "bald spots" interspersed along the rim.
The dark, matt glaze finish shows off the shape of the plate, and the "bald spots" draw the eye with a light-on-dark effect.
Just finished this today, so I haven't used it yet. Don't know how well it'll work, practically speaking, considering how lopsided and un-flat it is. Guess we'll see, eh?
And oh, look! A sneaker. How lovely.
