My bowls with rims

Well, rims that protrude horizontally, that is, and provide a place to carve a bit of design.

 1. Smallest of the three, a perfect spiral in the center...

 Next size (2) is deeper with a center with concentric lines.

 2. on table, 1 on windowsill.

 3. deeper yet, with a simple concentric ring on bottom.

 and there they are, 1, 2 and 3 from left to right.

 The nutmeg and celadon glaze on white clay break nicely on the carved leaves

 and yes, they do nest nicely also!

Carved leaves on the bowl edges

I shared the serving bowls before they were trimmed, and now they're carved and waiting to bisque fire.

 The unicorn dragon in the background is also mine...I've had some fun creating humorous creatures lately! But another potter made the brown clay tall piece and the floral piece.

I think I'll glaze them in nutmeg, which will give the carving just a little definition.

This show the trimmed bottom of the deepest one. Of course there will still be 15 % shrinkage in the 2 firings.

Serving bowls

Waiting to be trimmed, so their bases are a bit smaller.  Then some carving along those inviting edges, I think.

I finished my bag of clay today...except for the couple of pounds that will come off the bottoms of these pots, to be recycled into "what?"
