The test results are in!!!
Good thing i tested, because there were some surprises with the way the glaze behaves. Overall I'm happy and looking forward to more tests.
--and these cute little cups are the perfect demitasse size 2-3oz.
getting ready to do some glaze testing, so I made a batch of little itty bitty demitasse cups to test on. Test tiles would have been more time efficient, but not nearly as cute
@enog Could I trouble you for comments about these flies? The bowl is from a house I'm helping to clean out. #flies #flyfishing #fishing #porcelain #trout
Elegance meets history in this gorgeous Cup and Saucer from the Saint-Cloud porcelain factory. Its intricate blue motifs and unique trembleuse design reveal an 18th-century admiration for chinoiserie. How do you think cultural exchange shapes art?

here's a follow up from my recent teapot challenge: I love how the new color experiments turned out, and heres THE POUR TEST!
it pours GREAT-no drips! now if only i can remember how i did that?!
an update on our cute little cup:
It wanted to be an espresso, or mini #tea cup.
so I put an itty bitty handle on it!
this is going to be fun to decorate :)
i'm trying to stay away from making cups (my pottery comfort zone) but after throwing a bunch of lids and spouts, i had a little nub of clay left, and decided to make this tiny little shot glass or espresso cup 'for fun'. it's sooo cute!!! These will be great for glaze testing.
Antiques tweet No.5: tea bowls.
When tea was first brought to the UK from China in the 1650s there were two problems: it was very expensive and the tin-glazed ceramic vessels of the day could not withstand boiling water.
The solution was to import tiny handle-less porcelain tea bowls and matching saucers from China along with the tea.
Even when suitable cups could be made here, from the 1760's, they were still made without handles for another 50 years.....
