After

A few hours later [and having been admonished by son Gilad that I'm not keeping the blog up to date] here are the still-too-hot-to-touch results. It looks like a version of tenmoku called "tea-dust",and would be quite attractive if not for my inept decoration. I shall try to make more pots for the next firing [probably in the new kiln,which has arrived on these shores and is awaiting the pleasure of the Customs folk] and to leave them alone when it comes to decoration.
