This is a teapot by artist Jiri Duchek and the crackling glaze is referred to as 'stingray skin glaze', although it is different from kairagi glaze, which, to my current information, ist the 'real' stingray skin glaze and crackles in a way so that the original clay underneath breaks through. This is not the case here, and also this particular teapot is somewhat hesitant to crackle, as I have seen other examples also made by Jiri that are much more prone to crackle. The tea that was brewed was a puerh from Jingmai mountain in Yunnan.
A rare catch even for the fishermen of Cox's Bazar. The ray got picked up separately directly from the boat.
Cathedral Cove, New Zealand
Stingray Bay is South of Mare's Leg Cove, which is South of Cathedral Cove, all within easy swimming distance of each other. This is not actually Stingray Bay. It is a small bay at the North End of Cathedral Cove where four rays were seen easily in the clear water and against the white sand, which is why Stingray Bay was so named. Also, it is not a Stingray. The rays in this area are the non-aggressive Eagle Rays
So yesterday I had to take my car to the local General Motors dealership at Castle Hill (Victoria Road) for its 40,000km service, and whilst waiting I wandered into the adjoining GMSV (General Motors Special Vehicles) dealership - and look what I discovered.
It's a silver-grey 3LT GMSV Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. It is, surprisingly, a normally aspirated motor (no turbo) and yet gets to 100km per hour in 2.9 seconds. It has an amazing power-to-weight ratio.
Yet, in saying all that, I think any Tesla electric vehicle will beat it down the street. Hence, I note, the first electric Stingray arrives in 2025.
Here it is. It is called the 'E-ray'. Due soon:

There were dozens of these beautiful White-blotched river stingrays on display at Océanopolis in Brittany. Their forest/river habitat was at the end of the tour around & I did feel a little more attention could have been paid to hiding the butyl liner edges & making their "river" look more natural but it was really cool standing on a little bridge watching them swim about in the shallow water. They feed on crustaceans & small fish so I guess the ones here are on borrowed time. For Smile on Saturday theme "two-same" HSoS 😃
From Wikipedia :
The Xingu River ray, white-blotched river stingray, or polka-dot stingray is a species of freshwater fish in the family Potamotrygonidae. It is endemic to the Xingu River basin in Brazil and prefers rocky bottoms. It is sometimes kept in aquaria. The Xingu river ray is a venomous stingray that contains venom localized at its dentine spine in its tail.
We took a trip out to Stingray City, a sandbar shallow enough to stand on, and had an amazing experience with the stingrays as they swarmed around us.
A huge shout out to Laura who didn't think she could get off the boat when we first dropped anchor but who conquered her fears so completely that she ended up being one of the last ones to get out of the water! She even held one like I am here. Very proud of her.
Red Sail Sports did a great job and Alice, the crew photographer who took this picture, was wonderful as well.
It was 32c at the lake yesterday .. I ended up just walking in up to my knees to cool off .. after a snapped this frame I turned to walk back to the shore and got nearly as big a shock as the stingray that I'd almost stood on.. fun times at the lake ☺️
