Eggs with Legs and other stuff I made

Personnages autour d'un bassin

Almost every Sunday, I go to a small ceramics studio with friends. Lately, I've been more concerned with nonfunctional objects inspired by ancient pottery. This one is an abbreviated version of an object in the Louvre. It's not a complete success, but I consider it part of a learning curve.

Dysfunctional Teapot

I'm very fond of the shape and feel of my teapot. Unfortunately, and despite the greatest care, the lid somehow fused with the pot during the glaze firing. Like I said, it's a learning curve. Besides, after I had made it, I learned that the clay body probably isn't food safe. Now it's a sculpture.

I was afraid the one on the left would crack during the bisque firing, so I made it into a bank instead of a vessel with spouts.

Small Fish

This one's my favorite. It came about kind of by accident. The learning curve took an upward swing.
