I’m wondering if my Midwest abandoned barn scene would look cool in this pot with @HorseloverFat s awesome barn and weathered fences. I wasn’t super thrilled with version 1 in the wooden box.Bogus that's on the previous page.

Ooh, I like that idea about temporary firing supports. I’m sure adding grog is a great option, but for the moment I’ve just been using the sort of beginners clay that they have at the co-op. The rabbit hole goes deep!I like the new ideas in your last post. I'm not sure about the "central mini feet", I think you could get stability / span either by adding grog or making those feet temporary firing supports?

It's just a blue glaze called "Laurie's Turquoise" that's available at the pottery studio where I take classes. Fired in a gas reduction kiln. The odd thing about it is that it didn't break black and didn't have much speckling when I used it with a different clay body in the past. Must be something in the interaction between clay and glaze.What are the top two glazes? An ash/fake ash over a blue?
Could be a new batch of glaze was mixed up slightly different. And/ Or different placement in the gas kiln?There isn't too much chemical interaction between clay and glaze. Maybe it's more about application or firing temperature? A hotter firing this time would produce more running of the glaze, and give more time for crystals to grow during the cooling phase of the firing
I'm working my way through the Ceramic Materials Workshop online lectures about glaze chemistry and the lecturer keeps harping on it how they're relatively separate things Apparently the biggest difference is a different color behind the glaze, which is relatively transparent
