Side of bowl showing a red stripe where the surface transitions from smooth to cratered.
Front of teabowl showing the moon-like cratering in the glaze. I had to do a lot of cleanup with a grinder to make the surface smooth enough to use.
Back of chawan with mottled glossy black glaze. Gorgeous variation in this surface.
Kodai of the chawan with spiral detail.
Raku-style bowl. "Dark Side of the Moon". Lots of mixed feelings about this one.
