beautiful work

very nice!  the handles might tempt someone to lift it by them. your stamps are well done and the layout is really good.  it is beautiful and very large.  

 

send a picture of it to hesselberth and roy.  they like to know what we do with their glazes.

Hey, thanks I never thought of doing that. I have to look for the address.

 

I was worried about the handles. Do you think it will be a problem? I can't sell it if it is. This is the first time I decided to add handles.

it is hard to realize that people will do strange things with our pots once they own them.  this is such a beauty that you might consider saving it for your own collection.  

 

it would be safer to make handles that are a little closer to the slab of clay and not projecting out so far.  perhaps just a tiny bit thicker and very close to the edge of the pot would force people to use all their fingers under the handle and touching the slab itself and only a thumb guiding on the top.

 

i have hesselberth's address and will get it for you tomorrow.  it is cold and dark right now. 

Oh thank you so much. I think I will keep it and make another as you suggested. I'm glad we talked on this. They are many things that can go wrong in pottery. And it really helps to have friends with practical experience. Thank you so much.

John F. Hesselberth, 26 Hanover Drive, West Chester, Pa.    i don't have the zip code but it is easy to find.  gotta go.

Thank you.
