pot #41

Another Cindy Buehler! and another kinda bad picture. This lovely sgrafitto piece by Cindy is 3.25 x 3.25 x 1.75". As with the other sgrafitto piece, it was thrown, trimmed and then coated with black slip over ^5-6 porcelain while leatherhard...the slip is then carved away when the slip is dry enough.
This piece is glazed with a clear glaze on the inside and a purple glaze on the outside.
It sits on my stove...waiting for a spoon or fork to rest upon it.

pot #40

It's a Cinderelish jubilee! Another great piece by Cindy Buehler. This is a nice long tray made with a 'wiggle wire'. Basically, Cindy pulled one of those spiral wires through a block of clay and then 'threw' it horizontally against a table top to stretch the form. She bent up the sides and the ends for easy lifting.

It is 15" long by 6" wide and is about 1-1.5" tall at the ends. It is made of ^5-6 porcelain, oxidation fired and glazed with a commercial green glaze.

Love it! It is great for olives, berries, cheeses, small cup-cakes.

pot #39

Cinderelish...Cindy Buehler made this. I keep vase/large tumbler on my counter with kitchen tools in it. I love the blue. I have a rather dull counter top and tiles and this pot jumps out...adds life to the surroundings.
I bought this at the Crafty Chicks holiday event in Liberty last year...where I also bought a wonderful bird pin made from tiny beads.
The vase is 7 x 4.5", made from ^5-6 porcelain from Bracker's. Cindy threw the piece, coated it with black slip and sgrafitto-ed the surface so that the white clay will show. She fired and then glazed it with this great blue glaze.
Lick-able and luscious.
