It's a beautiful container. Interesting touch that I have not seen before in a pot. Thanks for the update.

I would love to know the technical process of the clay when it is heated in the kiln. My guess of the crevice would be that the clay when heated contracts a little (since the clay molecules will melt and fuse with each other). So maybe the clay on that portion of the pot wasn't packed enough.

Just a thought, but I would love to learn the science of the kiln process.

There is so much written on this, but after making a few thousands pots, I can safely say, no one knows exactly what will emerge from a kiln load of ware...its always an adventure

and that's the funnest part

the crevice was done intentionally and its a nice little touch to the pot all the elements of this pot work with each other in a way words can't really describe
