It was suggested that it could return to black in the firing but as you can see that wasn't the case:
It was a good firing and I'm pleased with all the results...
This morning I went outside and found a puzzle...
this palm tree flower stem was slap bang in the middle of this pot! The yard is enclosed and the pot is not near the fence so it has fallen directly off the tree into the pot without knocking the pot over!
Such a funny thing ... it is rather chewed so may have been dropped by a cockatoo but still a great shot!
I made these two pots some time ago.. they are wheel thrown, decorated with terrasiggalata and then pit fired.

I think the blue is particularly elegant!
Love the flow stem in the pot. Mother Nature works in mysterious ways!
yeah for a good firing, hope you show some close ups. It's amazing what coincidences can happen in life, like with that palm leaf. I remember another potter woke one morning and a knife on the kitchen counter had been disturbed by a mouse during the night and it fell and the mouse fell and it killed the mouse on the kitchen floor ? how in the world. yikes
I suspect your 'puzzle' would have the paranoid among us hiding under the bed.
Hooray for good firings.
Hi SmartCat.. mysterious indeed and I'm glad you like the blue design - hopefully it will find a customer :)
Hi Linda, I really should get myself a light box and take some good photos... all a bit much with some personal family stuff happening but something to look forward to. That incident with the mouse is incredible!
Hi EC I was looking around for explanations! if someone had said boo I would have jumped sky high... and yes yay for a good firing :)
