A Couple of Bisque Pots
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 8:39PM 
I unloaded a bisque this morning of platters/shallow dishes. I was going to wait until after the glaze firing to post any images but I had to show one of these off even if it was just a bisque dish. I am so excited about these! Just look at all those lines. I would have never dreamed I'd be doing deco like this. Hopefully it will keep getting better and better, but for now I'm super proud of my pots. I should have some glazed pics by early Friday b/c I glazed and loaded today.
Oh okay here's one more....

Golly but the decoration on these reminds me of a certain potter by the name of Hannah McAndrew. Do you know of her? :)
These are lovely, Ron! You know what I really like about the second one? The contrast in line quality between the finger swipes on the rim and the fine scraffito lines of the interior. I think that combo makes the piece really dynamic. Great stuff!
Wowie zowie!
hehehe me too! nice work ron...
oooooooooooh lovely Ron, can't wait to see them finished.

These are SO beautiful, Ron! What patience you have! I especially love those wispy lines coming out of the vines on the bottom one. Great work!
excellent and beautiful
Lovely juvly, and I don't say that about just anything.
I love seeing that cross-pollination going on in here. Great stuff, Ron.
I have been scouring this book I have on Tulip Ware made by Pennsylvania-German Potters. It's got some amazing pots from 1700-1800's. I'll try and put up some images late or you can visit this link and have a look

i got hold of a copy of poss the same book recently, had seen it at PYs place but my modern reprint is a sad badly photocopied affair. Very disappointing.
