PROTOTYPE REVISITED
Though it
took some time to get this katakuchi prototype fired, illustrated is the final
product. This thrown and altered piece was made a while back to show a customer
who approved the design as soon as it was glaze fired and now the group of
pieces are all made and bisque and waiting to be glazed and fired. As you can
see this piece was glazed in a Kuro-Oribe style glaze that clearly shows the
marks and texture on the clay surface from when the pot was thrown and altered
where subtle faceted plans appear activating the pot along with the movement of
the glaze. There are accents of rich blue-black on the spout and around the mouth
of the form along with patches on the sides of this triangular pot. All in all
the customer and I are happy with the results and now I am keeping my fingers
crossed that I can get six pieces to match more or less with out any glaring inconsistencies
out of the glaze firing.
