here are photos (finally) of the two pieces of pottery i picked up this week from the kiln room ... ready to be used ... the top one is gray speck clay (which turns out tan, you see .... it looks gray when it is wet and unfired) .... and then i pressed glass beads into it .... they melted in the bisque fire ... i clear glazed it ... and then the glass melted even more in the final firing ....then the one below, i love extra much ..... gray speck, slab rolled, textured with strips and stripes ..... transparent green glaze .... not quite square ... and the perfect size for my life ... it could hold a salad or some fruit, cheese and crackers or rolls, chicken wings or cous cous .... just the perfect size ... oh .... piles of cookies will look good too ....
not sure if i'll keep it for myself or gift it ....

love the lopsided bowl.....lack of symetry (SP?) is good! Keep it. Hershey's kisses will go well in it! or M 'n Ms.....or artichoke hearts :-)
lovely! love the green...
who's the asian commenter? ;)
the not quite square one is extra loved by me, too. :)
I adore that plate. The melted glass beads is an extraordinary touch.
I say Thin Mints piled high in the square bowl - both as a color compliment and to be able to put round cookies in a square bowl.
