Sometimes you win until you lose

I wanted to make a casserole dish...a gift.  It took forever to dry to just be bisqued.


 And then I glazed it and quickly waited. Yes that means the 20 minutes of glazing then sat through 3 other glaze kiln-loads before it got in one. About 3 days actually. I was pleased that it got done that fast.

But...




Well, just look closely.

A crack appeared that doesn't go through to the outside, but makes it not able to be cooked in, and thus not giftable.  (Cracks mean bacteria can hide there, so it's not food safe.) I may keep it around to keep my humility rate up.  Geese. I think I'll try again!

    1. Well, the crack means that microbes/bacteria can grow in there, so it's not food safe. It might be a planter after all.

    1. Thanks, but I cant' give it to my family, because cracks in the finish can't be cleaned enough for food.
