I’ve made a few small bottles during the last couple throwing cycles. They are fun to make and a good form to improve my throwing skills.

The biggest reason that I like them though is because I can fire them on their side.

I’m getting some really nice effects and hope to continue exploring this form and glazing technique.

All four bottles were fired to ^6 in oxidation and made with Warm Brown Stoneware by Amaco.
Top bottle has Jen’s Juicy Fruit at the top. The rest were fired on their sides and have a combination of Jen’s Juicy Fruit and Waterfall Brown running over other glazes.
