This is a stoneware Apllinoris mineral water bottle from around 1860(?), predecessor of the glass bottles used today.
Another piece saggar fired after the first glaze firing. Glaze with manganese, black iron and cobalt oxide
Our Daily Challenge 9-15 April : Ceramic.
The last remaining object in a set of stoneware vases and lamps I made inspired by seed heads .
The glazes were made using wood ash and fired to 1280C
created especially for the Shadow Box Art Auction to benefit exhibitions at the new Arkell Museum at Canajoharie
These have been reduced after stoneware firing with charcoal and wood to get the grey colours. Figure second from left appears in a previous photo unreduced.
Our Daily Challenge : Glaze/ Glazed
This is one of many I made. and the only one I have left that I didn't sell.
The glaze is colour is made with copper.
This Cassini image shows Jupiter from an unusual perspective. If you were to float just beneath the giant planet and look directly up, you would be greeted with this striking sight: red, bronze and white bands encircling a hazy south pole. The multicoloured concentric layers are broken in places by prominent weather systems such as Jupiter’s famous Great Red Spot, visible towards the upper left, chaotic patches of cloud and pale white dots. Many of these lighter patches contain lightning-filled thunderstorms.
Jupiter has very dramatic weather – the planet’s axis is not as tilted (towards or away from the Sun) as much as Earth’s so it does not have significant seasonal changes, but it does have a thick and tumultuous atmosphere filled with raging storms and chaotic cloud systems.
These clouds, formed from dense layers of ammonia crystals, are tugged, stretched and tangled together by Jupiter’s turbulence and strong winds, creating vortices and hurricane-like storms with wind speeds of up to 360 km per hour.
The Great Red Spot is actually an anticyclone that has been violently churning for hundreds of years. It was at one stage large enough to contain several Earth-sized planets but recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope show it to be shrinking. There are other similarly striking storms raging in both Jupiter’s cool upper atmosphere and hotter lower layers, including a Great Dark Spot and Oval BA, more affectionately nicknamed Red Spot Jr.
Jupiter’s south pole is at the very centre of this image, visible as a murky grey-toned circle. This patch is not as detailed as the rest of the planet because Cassini had to peer through a lot more atmospheric haze in the polar region, making it harder to see.
This polar map is composed of 18 colour images taken by the narrow-angle camera on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft during a flyby on 11–12 December 2000. This map is incredibly detailed; the smallest visible features in this image are about 120 km across. There is also an accompanying map of the planet’s north pole. In 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter and start to beam back images of the planet’s poles.
The Cassini–Huygens mission, launched in 1997 as a joint endeavour of ESA, NASA and Italy’s ASI space agency, flew past Venus, Earth and Jupiter en route to observe Saturn, its moons and rings. Observations with Cassini have given us an unprecedented understanding of the Saturnian system. ESA’s Juice mission aims to do the same for Jupiter. Planned for launch in 2022, the spacecraft will reach Jupiter in 2030 and begin observing the planet and three of its moons – Ganymede, Callisto and Europa. Previous flybys of these moons have raised the exciting prospect that some of them might harbour subsurface liquid oceans and conditions suitable to support some forms of life.
Juice was recently given the green light to continue to the next stage of development.

this is one of a new set of stoneware plates for home --
the traditional gift for the eigth anniversary is pottery --

I had a hard time coming up with a photo idea today. I procrastinated as a result. This is the design on my coffee mug that I use everyday. :)

Stoneware is a rather broad term for pottery or other ceramics fired at a relatively high temperature.A modern technical definition is a vitreous or semi-vitreous ceramic made primarily from stoneware clay or non-refractory fire clay.Whether vitrified or not, it is nonporous (does not soak up liquids);it may or may not be glazed. Historically, across the world, it has usually been developed after earthenware and before porcelain, as kiln and has often been used for high-quality wares.
The tops parts of the sculpture TDL (Stoneware). I took this photograph just prior to sketching the profile of the entire sculpture on the paper, which I then sent to Katie Schofield so she could use it in creating her Floor Mandorla.
I made this little tray for myself. It's about the right size for a single roll. It uses a blue wood ash glaze over stoneware.
