More Kiln Gifts (Pt. 2)

The last bowl came out today, and it like the others from earlier in the week is pleasing to my eye. On this one you can see the flower I incised, I think it adds something to the pot.

As always, lol - I used red iron oxide and soda ash on top of Miller 65 clay and Ellen's Blue as a liner. I used Copper Carbonate here like the others, but also it's a bit thick again and has turned black. I do like how the glaze broke where the copper carbonate has touched the pot causing the blue to turn green and fade into black. Rather a cool effect if I do say so myself. It was not an intended effect but rather a serendipitous accident, one of those happy accidents which could have otherwise been bad, bad - bad.
