Leaning

Yes that's right, it is meant to look like that. A few years back I saw a demonstration of how to throw a tilted or leaning pot. It's harder than you imagine but involves using a wooden bat mounted on the wheel at an angle. This makes for a base that rises and falls as the wheel rotates that you are meant to throw the pot on; enough to make you feel quite giddy! Stoneware glazes used were Bright Orange Red and Shiny White Tin.
