Bowls and Glazing

Cereal bowls drying.... Christmas gifts for my nephews and nieces. Please don't tell them! :)
The beginning of a small serving dish. Made the bottom after this pic was taken- and added handles.
Glazed a few pieces recently. This vase is one of my biggest pieces. For that, I threw two forms and then put them together. Will be good to see these finished. Blue/green celadon base with acccents of alfred's blue and then some tom's clear on top of that to help the blue run.
Here's the other vase. Ended up putting a few small glass shards on the top lip of the vase. Oh, and of course, teabowls. :) Gas kiln will be fired in the next couple of weeks.
Meanwhile, made a couple bowls and big teabowls. Could be for soup.... not sure what yet.
Oh, and while the color is bad, this was dinner. Breakfast for dinner! Polenta, eggs, biscuits, and bacon. Yum! This week I'll head back into the studio after a few days away and make some more bowls... These days I find myself thinking... if only there were more hours in the studio.

Oh the bowls look huge and that baker or casserole is going to be nice. Did you get some pieces out of the last firing?

I have always wanted to use some glass but never have given it a try, I might do that next time, what kind of glass do you use?
