glazed all the mugs today . . . .

i worked on glazing today and also handled the cookie jar and the baking dish.  had to throw another base for the top to the baking dish as it was way too thin.  all the mugs are now glazed.  tmw the next battery of glazing will be the tea bowls and some of the bowls.

i've glazed them two by two except for the one w/the clear over glaze (mostly white). i plan to fire one in oxidation and the other in oxidation to get a gander at the differences. i didn't photo all of them apparently. but, you get the idea. the fun part is seeing how different the pre-fired glaze looks and the after-fire glaze. the mugs:

the 2nd cookie jar.  the handles came out better this time.

and finally the baking dish.  the top is upside down as i just threw the foot/knob and i don't want to put too much pressure on it.  the upside down one fits inside of the other handled bowl.  you can bake in it covered and then remove the lid and serve something else in the lid.
