BLUE TEXTURE

Illustrated is a rather simple soda blue teabowl, a bit bigger than some that is mostly about form and texture that was made as a small group several firings back. This group were made to get an idea of what the texture looked like under the soda blue and the old amber I have used on and off for quite some times. Centered, textured, expanded and thrown the texture becomes bold and obvious, nothing subtle that ends up being a rather straightfoward bowl whether it finds its way to being used for tea or chilli or anything inbetween, just hold off on the broccoli and cale.
