And then there are miniatures (and cat)

The little pitcher led me to make a little sugar to go with it...

 And how about a little container for toothpicks, or packets of non-sugar sweeteners?

And maybe also some little tea bowls for drinking also?

Panther is photo-bombing the tiny pitcher...I must have left some scent of food on my fingers...thus to the pots










These were all thrown off the hump, one big hump of clay.  Sorry, I forgot to take pics as they were made...it's tough when your hands are covered with clay and all wet to click a shot.

This group was glazed with Nutmeg.  They aren't quite as small as real miniatures, but they are still less than 4 inches each.

Oct pots

Dahlias in a snowflake crystal glazed vase...what beauty!  The flowers of course.  I am glad that John Britt shared how to make the crystaline glazes in Ceramics Monthly a while back.  It was hard to get results at first.

The last of the fall pendants
The pendants on cords sell pretty well at the TailGate markets.  But I don't worry about the ones that don't sell.  They are easy enough to store.

Very small test pitchers.  The one on the right had the best pour spout when I tested it.  But all would pour very well, if you just didn't fill it right to the rim.

There would be dribbles however with slow starts and stops of pouring...so learning correct pouring skills is also important!

These are tried and true glaze combinations on speckled brownstone clay.

Tomorrow I'll have some tea bowls,which could be perhaps just drinking cups...all in white and blue.
