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.
