Nice

Nice vessel...unfortunately, I can't give you much feedback since I have no details about size, materials used, and firing conditions. This piece appears to be made of a stoneware clay, probably fired to at least Cone 8; the glaze colorant is cobalt at about 0.5 - 1.0%, and the piece was dipped into the glaze. The glaze layer is relatively thin, which might indicate a high bisque temperature or excess water in the glaze (not necessarily a bad thing!).

As for the throwing, clearly you're proficient at throwing since the piece is symmetric. It's difficult to assess any technical issues without handling the pot, of course, but the piece is aesthetically beautiful and demonstrates a solid working knowledge of clayworking.

Oh, I nearly forgot. Why are there two "chip-like" structures on the lip of the vase?

Arrrgh The more I look, the more I see....

I guess you wanted comments, here's a third one!

Upon closer inspection, it appears that you dipped the pot sideways halfway into the glaze, let the glaze dry, and then dipped the other half. I initially assumed the dark blue band running vertically was the result of pouring the glaze out, but now I see that the inside wall on the opposite side has a dry spot, which is a common pitfall with this glazing technique. Looks like an iron-bearing stoneware clay. Am I correct?

I dont know the exact type of clay it was for a class at school and my teacher took care of the fireing...I do not know what the two spots on top are they were there when i recieved the piece back...it is about 4 inches tall


thanks for the comments
