I
decided to try my hand at making a few faceted & banded tokkuri and this is
what I came up with. It is only about seven inches or so tall and should make a proper size by
the time it is finished fired and my thought process is through some degree of
measured persistence I may get a better feel for this process at any scale or form. I am
most likely to glaze this in Oribe to allow all the lines and sharp angles show
through the surface and collect on whatever points it can. I made the central
ring of the bottle a bit depressed to aid in the handling and use of the vessel
and it will remain to see how that decision pans out. I think all the lines and
angles should like quite nice under the Oribe and will try to remember to post
a finished photo when the pot is finished.
