New ceramics

I just retrieved my latest ceramics from the studio today, and I'm really happy with how they turned out. This is the first four of a series of twelve pieces glazed the same way, with a turquoise underglaze, a vibrant blue topglaze, and a buff-mix claybody with an aluminum oxide treatment.

This is my favorite piece, and the largest thing I've finished so far. It holds about 1400 ml. It's a little big to eat out of, but a little too small to really use as a serving bowl. I think I will use it mostly as decoration, but it could make a nice serving basin for two people, or maybe for serving a side dish, or something like that.

Now I have six more things to finish before the quarter is over!
