For this firing I had ten rectangular plates and made two of each glaze color; the plates are 9 x 5 inches. Previously I made only one of each glaze and folks wanted multiples. Although I did have someone order a set of these and the smaller plates all in different colors. I have more of these drying with a different clay, we shall see how the glazes turn out with that clay. This first one is blue green and gold.
This one is a sort of a plum rose red color. Even though these plates seem simple to make I always have to sand the edges of each one before the bisque, because sometimes there are burrs left since the pattern goes all the way to the edge. Oh, I got a little driplet of glaze on the bottom of one plate, what do you use to sand the bottoms of your pots?
This one is a shino and green. Interesting the other plate is all green and just a hint of the brown.
This one is kind of a smokey blue and bronze, which normally doesn't get that wine color, but this time it did and I think it's nice.
This one is a spring or lime green and has a more even color.
Even though each one of these plates is made individually, they stack nicely in the cabinet and work well for luncheon plates, appetizers, serving plates, or even a catch all on a dresser or counter top. I'm taking these to the farmer's market today, hope there's lots of people and it doesn't rain till the afternoon. One of my leaf dishes was in this
