Off the Porch and Growling

Have to use up the Sandard 181 I have left, gotta say I freaking hate this clay - its worse than the bag of schleprock wowsie woo-woo ape poop I threw away some time ago, come to think of it ... I think it was a Standard Clay too. I do not know what they do to the clay, and I am sure it's fine for some folks so if you a standard nazi (lol as opposed to what kind of nazi?)  sorry, but yes my mind just works that way. Anyway if you are on the standard band wagon leave me be, I perfer clay with tooth and workability versus mush in a damned bag. Have to wedge it and let it sit for it to be even remotely useful.

A.n.y.w.a.y ... the pig pot is 181, as is this pot which I modelled off of an Etruscan water pitcher, I varied the handle, and the spout. Spout because "HELLO" its one-eighty-one and it won't stand even after sitting for an hour. Bleh - where was I oh, yeah ... I also put a foot on it because I felt like it.

For the handle I combined a couple of techniques, the split handle which I used to good effect I think on the fountain a few weeks back, and the cut handle technique. The split handle is splitting the ends of the handle and using two attachment points on each end of the handle. The cut handle is simply that, cut the handle at the curve and re-attach it for a distinctly elegant look. I likes it I does.

Added a stamp to the belly of the pot and a few bits like I did with the platters, learned I like that kinda thing too.

Looks very ritualistic, meh blame it on me watching Dune last night which is one of the greatest movies ever. I can imagine the waters of life being poured from this type of a pot.

Cool. Lets hope it survives.
