Fired

Small mishima Lorem ipsum and snail cup ( 3¼″, 120 mL). Mid-fire white clay, slips and glazes. Wheel thrown and reduction fired to cone 6.

The piece was originally intended to be a practice piece for the mishima (inlaying) technique. I thought the inlaying did not work out so I glazed it over. But after firing it turned out that the inlaying actually did work out.
