GOLDEN BROWN

I was throwing a couple weeks back and had some extra clay left over from throwing off the hump so I threw a couple of high sided teabowls. Once thrown, the question was what to do with them and since I had some black and white slips looking me in the face, I decided to make two quick mishima style inlay pieces. This one was carved with a real uneven herringbone style texture and then had white and black slip inlaid before it was carved off, the other one was done in just white slip inlay. I used my saffron style glaze over this piece and then added a wash of iron to deepen the color to a rich,golden brown. The other bowl was glazed in Oribe and though the inlay is a bit harder to see, it makes still makes for an interesting texture.
