Celadon bowl

Recycled clay, CuCO3 stain and celadon glaze, reduction
fired.  Wheel thrown and carved
Probably the best bowl I've thrown so far since the shape is very functional - good sized foot, thin walls with a delineated rim, profile is easy to pick up and set down, and the size is good for eating from.  I carved out the texture on the outer surface of the bowl and foot - I think I much prefer textured to smooth surfaces for aesthetics.  The dark and burgundy areas are from copper stain that I brushed before glazing over with celadon.
