My first experiments with porcelain






















I'm quite happy with this rainy miniature cup. This is a shape and decoration to definitely repeat in a larger scale one day.
I worked the underglaze color as watercolor and it really gave the washed out effect I was looking for.
























But then I tried the same "watercoloring" on the surface of pinched cups that turned to be just plain ugly. Also something leaked blue glaze on the other cup in the kiln. The little test pieces, carving and underglaze wash, might become earrings. Front (glazed) and backsides shown for comparison.
