What an amazing color! It's a pity the clay is still unfired. This red firing clay 126 from Sibelco comes out darker at cone 6. I am trying different clay types for these plates, red firing, salmon and speckle clay. Also doing some experiments with putting either soap or oil on the bats previous on throwing the clay. It will prevent them on sticking to the bat and so give me less work in trimming.

Crazy crystals.

The crystalline glaze runs a lot. With this shape it takes some practice to not get a puddle of glaze in the middle of your shape. You need to brush the right amount of glaze on the inner wall. Here it worked out fine.

Lovely honey coloured crystalline. My studio shop in Amsterdam at west of Jordaan is open almost daily, but I regret to not have fixed opening times. Call me if you want to visit (for number see google maps).
