TOO FAR?

Tall lobed yunomi with incised and stamped decoration around the form. This yunomi started life as a simple lobed piece that I make on a semi-regular basis but I wanted a canvas to test the incised and stamped decoration together. Once decorated, I decided to go with my newish incarnation of this amber glaze. I think that though the surface is a bit full, it is not so crowded and works well with the glaze, making for a simple addition to a yunomi or teabowl moving forward. Coming off the heels of this test yunomi I have also upscaled the decoration to some smaller covered jars ad some vases as well. Truthfully I have a tendancy sometimes of going a bit too far with decoration and glazing so ending up with a concept that butts up against too much without straying into that territory is a big win as I look at it.
