That's just a bit of extra character, my man

Not a Chip.. I suspect that Andy had a we bit of wax on his finger when working on the base, and the galse has 'resisted' at the rim.

Robs on the money... its character. Budda embraces inperfection... just like me

Hi Kitoi

Looks like a chip but it's not thanks god, must have been a bit of stray wax resist that ended up where it should not have been not that I am bothered as Rob says it gives the glaze a little nuance, plus there is another side to the pot
However if it were a chip then I really want to find out how japanese potters use the gold fill technique to repair but still show off the damaged area. I know how I can fill the damaged area out and refine it but I am unsure of the gold part whether or not it is solid gold or gold leaf on a filler.

Hi petit-arbre

Thanks for the kind comment

Hi Peter

Thanks for the support. Talking of repairing damaged pots, the Japanese way, do you know how it is done with the gold fill technique or where I could find some information on this technique. I know antique pots that are damaged are not discarded but repaired with the repaired area highlighted with gold to show the flaw. Any help or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Regards to you all

Andy

Hi Tony

You hit the nail on the head sir! Beauty through imperfection in an imperfect world plus a bit of stray wax resist

Looking forward to Friday evening

All the best

Andy

Pot number 5 is very nice !
So tender , tender appearence in the glaze.
Love this because it is balancing with the primair and
strong shape of the pot.

Wish You happy jumping time for one of the next days.
Tonight i 'll be a jumping bunny and open my kiln.
Kind regards

Hi Morea

These pots were from last weeks firing. The kiln is still too hot from yesterday's firing. I should be able to open the kiln on Tuesday or Wednesday. Don't think I will have time to post any of the new pots as I have to price and pack over 100 pots for Noelanders
Thanks for you kind comments and I will see you on Friday

Kind regards

Andy

I am looking forward to pick my pot up!

See you all soon
Peter
