This is a wheel-thrown bowl approximately 7 1/4 inches wide and just over 2 3/4 inches tall. It has a distinct bowl shape, with a subtle difference in curvature to the body; towards the base it is belled outward, curving back in towards the top and flaring out slightly at the rim before it rolls back upright to a rounded lip. The base, small than the body in width, is tucked beneath the lower curve, with a flat, untouched bottom and carved-out upper foot. I glazed it in Cobalt, and trimmed the rim, around the foot and the inner base with white; the lip is slightly green just below the top, while the crest and down either side - though primarily the inner surface - is a far, far lighter variegated blue hue; the latter surfaces have taken on a dripping effect reminiscent of lace or frothed waves creeping across a beach in the patchwork shape and stippled texture. The bottom of the inner surface was also brushed in white, resulting in a similar color and texture effect as the rim, and a small patch of the same just above the inner base.
The texture of the glaze on this one reminds me of the Sun's surface, with all its convection cells and the tendril-like spikes marking the boundaries of a Sunspot - except in this one, the order of which is outside what is reversed and the colors aren't fire!
This is a wheel-thrown bowl approximately 4 1/3 inches wide and 2 1/4 inches tall. It has a deep body that bells out from the base, with a thin, sharp tip. The base is flat on the bottom, while the sides are straight until the body with a slight flip-out at the edge. The outer body is glazed a dark cobalt blue, while the inner surface is cobalt over shadow green and the lip thickened with black. The result after it was pulled from the kiln is a blue-black drip down the rim with the lower edge bordered in black with an outer-edge tracing of light blue. The inside rim also dripped down, but in a finger-like, cilia-esque pattern; the blue and green combined to create a patchwork of seaweed-teal and blue with a primarily stippled texture.
This is a wheel-thrown bowl 6 1/4 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches tall. It has a deep body that slants outward from the rounded base at an angle; the lip is flattened with edges, and the bottom of the base has a wide, shallow foot. It was glazed in thin, light powder-blue with black on the rim that drips down on both sides and black splattering on the inside. The black is watered to a gray by the blue, and the flat top of the lip has a deep blue-black hue; the basal clay shows through the blue glaze, primarily on the inner surface due to surface texture from the throwing process.
