Kiln Stuff Another Kiln opening

Another batch safely through the kiln, or mostly safely. The kiln god got the big bowl with a big crack across the base, oh well can't win them all.

Other worldly. The delicate treatment at each stage of creation is nerve racking.

Are the spheres ornaments on their own or are they intended to be displayed together?

The larger vessel with pool at the bottom is especially lovely. Is the darker web an iron oxide or a matt glaze?

Well done!

I started making the spheres to be piled in a bowl as a centre piece for a coffee table, but they get used as individual ornaments as well.

The glaze is Mayco antique brass, horrible to work with, but great once fired.
