Set of 3 small bowls - SOLD!

 Some more small bmix bowls for practice.   I sold these as a set at the PCC Holiday Ceramics Sale, even though they weren't intended to be a set when I was making them.  They are all glazed similarly, with dk red underglaze motif, lt. celadon inside and jungle green outside.  During the process of throwing all these bowls, I really learned how to use the clay more efficiently, i.e. incorporating more of the starting clay into the piece.  I think this must be essential for professional potters not solely to prevent wasted clay, but more to conserve time and energy in making the pieces (less trimming, less corrections in throwing, smaller quantities of clay to process).
