TEMPERATUR

I posted a similar covered jar a short while back, one that sold almost as quickly as it came out of the kiln, still warm and carrying on its cooling symphony. To that end, I wanted to make at least another to have around a bit and opted to make this one a bit larger in stoneware instead of white stoneware and with three lids instead of just the one. I should also note that Judith Solomon reminded me that the multi-lid thing was something Val Cushing did quite often and is likely where I picked it up but had forgotten the origins. At any rate, this jar is now bisque and glazed and waiting on being fired all decked out in my Oribe with several washes of various iron over the lids and upper portion of the jar. Using an atomizer, I am always concerned about over spraying the surface and totally losing the paddled texture, time and temperature will tell.
