This Jar made of a white ^6 clay from SC is the first of a series of ideas using carved wooden stamps to create pine needles for a shoulder border. I have orders for lamps involving pine needles and pine cones and have been researching methods of creating this motif. This is the first effort.

These are some of the recent honey jars I have been working on, proof of concept. The spoon is for honey drizzle, with a hole in the back side. This allows no swizzle stick, and no opening for bees or flies to get into the honey if out on the deck or other wise. Fire with the lid upside down to prevent the glaze from gluing the lid on where the glaze may pool between the end of the spoon and the inside pot bottom. Working now on 50 of these for a first order. Mugs are also in the order for 50, with a honey comb/bee motif.
 

Shaping jar after stamping decoration is less static imagery on the form.

Mugs are stamped before shaping.
