Carved Copper Red

Final pot for this week: This is a simple thrown form in Stoneware clay, with a spiral carved at leather hard stage. Once bisque fired, the piece was dipped in a Copper Red glaze. Unfortunately when using an electric kiln there isn't much of an oxygen reduction, so the Copper Red doesn't really come out. You get the idea looking at the edge of the glaze and also in good daylight a pink tint can be seen.

I really like this one. No idea how you got the carving lines spaced so regularly.
