FLOODED
Illustrated
is before and after views of a yunomi showing off a floral design that I first
used all the way back in Cleveland. On the left is obviously the yunomi just
out of the bisque showing a blossom on one side of the piece while on the left
is the fully glazed pot with the blossom from the other side. I admit the
surface looks a bit odd as I flooded the yunomi with light to best showcase the
design under the darkish AO+ glaze which under normal light you can see the
design but I just couldn't get a picture capture the image with resorting to
this method. As you can see the yunomi is a rather simple affair as is the
black slip design but once glaze fired the whole thing changes by softening the
blossom and creating dimension to the surface. Admittedly there isn't that much
complication to this yunomi, one extra of a set of eight made and honestly I
wouldn't have it any other way. We are off to test this one in real world
situations as my wife has decided we needed one more mismatched pot in the
cupboard.
