is a simple, straight forward iron yellow kushime covered jar with a type of
knob I have used off and on for quite some time. This ring knob is made by
pulling a length of clay, the same way you would pull a handle making sure to
keep the pulled coil round. When I am pulling it I make sure the center part is
just a bit thinner than the ends will be which allows for a good amount of clay
to attach to the lid. I let it set up for a bit before bending it in half and
cutting to size. Once attached, I use the end of a paintbrush to create a
discernable circle within the knob and this helps create the impression of a
ring set on the lid. There is nothing to fancy or complicated about the process
or end result, but it is the details that get the job done.
