TreasureHunt Treasure 1. A beautiful cup/wan from Bill of SplitFirePottery ... Surprise, it is NOT turquoise. I believe this piece was fired on its side, resting on 3 shells?

Winner TBD and announced later!!!

New kyusu from my last firing. Nice ash! Six oz and pours it in 5 seconds.



Also I am working on new items... no particular reason... ummm... just wanted to. I am firing again in the near future. I'll keep you posted.
Cheers,
Bill

Thanks for the compliment Yinwenqian, I am very pleased with how it came out. I had a great firing overall. There are always some that hit the pile. (I have a pile of rejects under a large spruce tree next to a kiln.) You can see it behind and just to the right of the kiln in this picture.



I had a large, beautiful-looking casserole that was tossed because of a crack in the bottom. Cost of doing business.
Cheers,
Bill

Verrrrry interesting!

Your torquiose kyusu arrived a couple weeks ago, very beautiful. I need to take some photos now that the fam is complete, 2 small wans, 2 small yunomi, and the head of the family ... the kyusu.

Lovely warm color....I want to reach into the screen and touch the shell marks.

Sweet treasure, rhondabee! Hope you enjoy it for many moons to come.

I used the square cup again tonight, Bill, with Tie Luo Han, it works very well!

I don't know if you caught the posting I did, shortly after it arrived.

Hi everyone,
I just finished a new firing. I am going to unload it on Saturday, the 15th of October. I have a group coming then that was part of a wood-fired workshop I gave on the 8th and 9th. I did manage to put a few pieces in, mostly in the back. I included some pics anyways. There is a couple of teapot orders on top.
Here is the first peaks...





I'll post more pics after we unload. I am having a tough time waiting.
Cheers,
Bill

I think I see my kyusu in that beautiful turquoise glaze? I think that must be the little turtle on the lid

You got a turtle on the lid? Bill, you held out on me!

Great looking firing, Bill!

Turtles too... a tounge twisting, top shelf type, turquoise, turtle-topped teapot (kyusu... but it didn't rhyme)





Kickin' kyusu...
Bill

The world rests upon a turtle!
