The shape I am basing it is on this teapot on the far left. That is a stoneware that was gas fired to cone 10 and covered with an all over iron oxide decal pattern that I designed.
This new vase/teapot is bigger, but once it dries, and once its fired, it will be roughly the same size.
I plan to try to duplicate (as much as possible) the same firing in my home electric kiln. This is cone 6 stoneware clay. It will fire to a buff brown with dark speckles ... then I will apply the iron oxide decals. And like the version on the left, it will not be glazed.
I still have to form the handle and the spout and the lid. So I had better get busy.
Thanks for stopping by! -- Natalie
