Some more little bitty bowls, this time with a single glaze on each one. The were all dip glazed. It’s a lot easier to do that with such small bowls. They were fired to 1280°C which is approximately cone 9. I did a post about the firing profile we use for stoneware.
All the blue bowls are blue skies, as I talked about in my previous post. I wanted to test how it looked at different thickness levels. I did this by watering down the glaze rather than changing the way I dipped them. I think it’s the best way to get a consistent glaze.

I already did a whole post about this bowl because I like it so much. It’s a tin/chrome pink glaze.

I called this one buttercup because it varies from yellow to orange. I tested these ones like the blue ones - applying in different thicknesses to see the effects. Orange does seem to come from being thinner.

Translucent Brown (Dirt maybe?)
I was having trouble naming this one. It’s quite a pleasant brown (as brown goes. Being transluscent helps. Some of the ideas were Mocha and Hazelnut, but the book I got the recipe from says it’s not suitable for domestic use i.e. not food safe, so probably better to give it a non-food name like Dirt. I’m guessing it’s the manganese since otherwise it’s identical to Strawberries and Cream.

Translucent Green (Algae maybe?)
This one has the same problem as above. The book says not food safe. I think this is the right recipe for it. I’ll need to check the tub. I’m not sure how this one isn’t food safe though. The crazing maybe?
