EVERYONE'S FAVORITE POLYGON

While throwing either an order or a commission a few weeks back I took the time and made a square and a hexagonal teabowl to end my day on my own terms as what could be more exciting than creating a six sided polygon, everyone's favorite shape? Illustrated is the hexagonal bowl decorated in Narumi-Oribe style with rubbed iron panels with black decoration and sgraffito under a clear glaze with the remainder of the bowl glaze in Oribe. My goal was to get strong, accentuated lines between each plane of the hexagon and a good contrast between the clear and Oribe panels, I think I succeeded in my goal with that distinct contrast and absolutely no crawling from any surface incompatibility, for one of a series of one, this is about the best outcome I could have asked for.
