Three bowls, here. I'll have to get the pictures up when I get back from a fieldtrip on Saturday; they're on Mom's camera, and I can't access them at the moment, and the real things have been turned into the Art Show. I'll also add details later.
The first, and largest, wheel-thrown bowl is 6 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" tall. It has a wide bell shape with a lightly-flared lip, a pinch between body and base and a groove below that, forming a footring that leaves the base as flat as when it detached from the wheel. The base glaze is a thin coat of light powder-blue that emphasizes the natural texture from using fingers to pull the clay up while wet. A darker, more navy-blue was painted in a spiral shape on the inside, the ends meeting in the base's center; they continue down the outside of the bowl, more streaks branches off and winding down to the base in a pattern reminiscent of tiger-stripes.
The smallest wheel-thrown bowl is a mere 4 1/2" wide and just under 2" tall. The body is very well-rounded, with a slight flare in the lip and a pinched-in base and partial foot that leaves the bottom flat. The glaze is a light powder blue, with a darker forest-y green dripping heavily from the rim halfway down the walls, inside and out.
The last is a distinct bell-shape with a light flare at the lip and narrow base; it measures 4 1/2" wide by 3 1/4" tall. The glaze is, again, a light powder blue, this time with droplet-splatters of white and green that smear and drip down both the inner and outer walls.
