ECB TS8

This faceted on the wheel teabowl was yet another piece made out of an experimental clay body that I was messing about with, this was the last piece from the batch. This bowl was thrown and quickly faceted using a sharp splinter of fire wood that was hanging around and has served as a rather useful if impromptu clay tool. Though this looks quite brown in the left photo, it is a greener tone in natural light (as seen on the right) and all the grog inclusions and shelves caused by the quick faceting add quite a bit to the surface making for a much more animated and interesting visual. I ran out of this clay rather quickly throwing teabowls and a couple of small covered pieces once the test cups came out of the glaze kiln and need to get motivated to make up more of this clay body which will end up with the ominous sounding designation; ECB TS8.
