Acorn pot

This little pot which reminds me of an acorn, will be living in the northeastern tri-state area, real soon. I made a few of these (which I posted earlier, unfinished) and haven't decided who will get which pot. I am not sure how useful this pot will be since it is only and inch tall. Maybe being cute is enough.

Keepers to keep

I have a problem. I like my pottery too much to sell or give it away. As I make more pots I will have be more selective about what I keep. Maybe as I make more similar pieces, I will be able to add it to the sell or give shelf that I am trying to stock with the idea of a future sale and Christmas. Not to have the pressure to produce pottery and keep all that I like (for now) is quite a luxury. I am lucky to have such a "problem".

Pretzel keeper

I've finally made a container tall enough for my pretzels. They're my favorite no-guilt snack as of late. They meet my need to crunch without too much sodium or fat.  So to keep them handy I made a pot especially to store one whole package. It's about 10" tall. The way the glazes took to the knob was a pleasant surprise. The bands of dark and light on and under the knob give it a nice contrast. Another keeper for me and my pretzels.

Yesterday I was in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum of Art .
Loved every minute of it. This pot is as huge as it appears in the photo

A bit spotty

When in a weird mood I made a vase with a weird shape which required a weird glazing. Random spots of Nutmeg on plum gave a finish with speckles within the spots. I'm liking how the Snowflake glaze on the interior meets and melts with the Nutmeg/Plumb combo. Love it or hate it? I still haven't made up my mind. It requires a spell on the shelf and further contemplation I do believe. Maybe I need to be in a weird mood to appreciate it.
