Mark:

 

I can see the color orientations you are after. The color used to make/highlight the flowers is off: does not follow the overall theme. This color needs to follow what you have inside the cup: do not be afraid of a dark/deep. burgundy. The bottom ( yellow) would flow better with the silver/white color I am seeing around the flowers (highlights). The deep color of the handle and interior is more than enough intense color. So balance the piece with some coordinating pastels.

Of course. What with?

The colour used to make the flowers is the white slip over the entire outside of the cup. There is no additional highlighting. The photo was edited to make the whites stand out, as the original was quite dark. This means the brush marks in the slip are standing out more than they do in real life. The flowers are just done as an outline with black underglaze on top of the white slip, and the yellow is a colour was from a Mason stain (I don't have the number to hand). The dark of the inside of the cup and the handle are both the clear glazed, unadorned red clay that I made the cup with. I am not afraid of that particular burgundy

I thought Mark put this up: apologies. Dazed and confused I am.

Chalk it up to turkey, we can!
