The lid tops are on and all is well.

The lid tops for three jars are leatherhard, the tops were attached today. They are now ready to be mated with their jars and sat on the shelf for another few days of drying before they're ready to be bisque-fired. 

One more lidded dish, still too wet to trim the top or the bowl. Hopefully by Sunday we'll be good to go. 

This piece came out of bisque fire and will be ready for glazing on Sunday. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. I definitely enjoy taller forms with ornate lids. I'm looking forward to making some more. 

I also did some rib work along the body to begin experimenting with different body styles.

Very impressive. have you looked at hte ancient egyptian and grecian pottery for any artistic nuances? I was wondering how interesting would these look with the bas relief work of egyptian hieroglyphs or pictographs. One of the tall, narow tapered pieces perhaps.
