EVERYDAY POT

A while back during a recent terra cotta cycle I made a few sets of pots as orders including a set of covered jars that I wrote about back in February. The bulk of the firing revolved around snowberry decorated pots, tebori XO and as in this photo, abstrakt resist pieces. This covered jar was an extra that I made at the time that ended up with a wonderfully even and dark black surface where the abstrakt colors pierced through the veil if you will. The contrast of black and the colors around the pot and on the lid is rather vivid tying the pot together as a cohesive entity while giving the pot a rather fun and animated sense. That is about the most I can ask for and hope that  makes for a good, everyday pot.
