NO ORDER TOO SMALL

Illustrated is a commission, a single solitary covered serving bowl with lid and knob. That being said, I did make a second set as a spare I just didn't think two looked as solitary as the single piece and parts. Over the years I have made a lot of single pieces as orders or commisions and would like to think no order too small and this small version of a covered serving bowl is a good example though. Along with the csb I have been asked to make two matching, meoto style tea cups and generally speaking, I am very happy for the interest and excuse to throw. This covered jar will set up over night, get trimmed, have the knob attached to the lid and once dry, it will get decorated and later glazed and fired. The spare is to insure everything goes well along the process like not rushing things and blowing up pots in the bisque all the way to having pots overglazed and becoming one with the shelf. Even for such small orders while relying on potentially runny glazes, my motto remains the same; better safe than sorry.
