I make an inordinate number of these small slab pots, all about 2 1/2 inches square and 5 or 5 1/2 inches tall. Although they are great sellers, they are also the pot I can make when I'm too tired or too short on time to start a larger pot. The larger pots often need a day or so to set up before feet can be attached, the small ones are all-at-once.
Two pots made with mixed stoneware. The surface is untouched after forming, leaving dark and light areas, and some with elements of haze. These are slab pots, every side is different, and I'm showing the best.
Two more, showing the haze. These are all clear glazed, the original stoneware colors can be seen in the feet, or even better in the next picture.
Two unglazed, with the surfaces scraped when bone dry. Some hazing left in places, but hard edges were the goal in these.
And two more
And the final I like the bands with the flowing scenic lines above. This is the best of the 9.
More work on these to come.
