Garlic and ginger jar - wheel thrown, recycled clay, oxidation fired, gerstley borate and alberta slip brushed, ox blood and woo yellow glazes

I started throwing the body for this piece and decided to put a gallery on the rim and then throw a matching lid.  As you can see the lid is a bit small in size with a chunky hand formed handle - but not bad for first try. I was hoping the glaze would be brighter, but the oxblood is too thin.  I brushed on some alberta and gerstley borate slip underneath - both show up rather faintly as well.  Inside is woo.  A functional piece...
