...or, at any rate, a bowl for sugar.

This was a long overdue project as we had descended to the level of using a plastic cup!  High time for the potter to be busy.

The upper section was coiled first, then allowed to firm up.  It was then inverted and the foot coiled directly onto the base.

Made from my red earthenware clay, left entirely unglazed, and fired to Orton Cone 04 in about a 10 hour firing.

It has been in frequent use since!

    1. I think so too, Ann! It holds more sugar too... all to the good, I suppose ;-)
