Teaset



I recently completed this teaset. I threw the pieces some time ago but took ages to decide how to glaze and decorate it. I have used a stoneware transparent green glaze on the outside and a clear on the inside. I then made an additional firing to add commercial decals using an electric kiln and firing up to just 720 degrees. There is also an extra serving bowl with saucer for the jam and scones :)

On screen the pieces seem to have a swirling pattern. This is an illusion of the camera. In fact there is just a border of incised lines.
