buckeye Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 When I first started throwing one of the first things I tried to make was a covered baking dish and I was less than successful at it. Besides being beyond ugly the inside shape was not at all practical, The lid wasnt a good fit.. just all around bad. Lastnight I decided to throw another one and I really like how it turned out, size, inside/outside shape, lid etc. To me it turned out great and I cant wait to try it out after I get it fired.

Jacqueline Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 It's a beautiful baking dish! What kind of clay are you using? I would like to make a covered chicken roaster and wondered what would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 It's a beautiful baking dish! What kind of clay are you using? I would like to make a covered chicken roaster and wondered what would be best. I get my clay from Columbus clay. I use Matherstone, it is the only clay I have used since I got my own wheel. It is very durable, I made my mom a couple of tea pots and she actually uses them on top of her gas stove to make tea and she drinks tea often. I told her she shouldnt but you know how moms can be. here is a link to their clay page and you can read about it. http://www.columbusclay.com/Clay.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice.H Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 very nice... i like the handle... the little hole u make at the handle makes it looks like a steel pot.... how big is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille Oka Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yes, it's a very nice shape. But the foot looks too thin from the angle in your photo; when you cut the pot off you may cut through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denice Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Nice baking dish if your bottom is to thin you might add a ring of clay to the bottom and throw a foot that mimics the lip of your lid. Have fun filling your kiln. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to measure it but I would guess it would hold about 2 quarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macdoodled Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 So where is the final piece? Did you try it in a preheated oven? Mom puts ceramic on the stovetop?! My guess is that it will take so much abuse, but eventually she will be cleaning up some water..and that there is a reason archeologists find tons of water jugs and bowls, but fewer solid ceramic cooking pots... though this is cool http://popular-archaeology.com/issue/september-2011/article/6-000-year-old-cooking-pots-show-gradual-transition-to-agriculture-study-reveals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have to glaze it. Should be no problem with the oven, the stoneware clay I use is formulated for baking ware. I will share a pic as soon as I get it glazed and fired.. should be over next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
