Would you be willing to share the process you used to get such a beautiful lamp?
Throwing wise- I like to throw a thick cylinder, push it out and then color in the next. For lamps I prefer to have the top part of the belly be a little flatter. (usually fits the shape of the shade better.)
Glazing, a crystalline glaze, 6 copper oxide with 1 gram of ilmenite.
I think I fitted this with gold hardware.

That is awesome!

Predicting color break in relation to anticipated glaze run is a science of its own.
Only had two in this load that came out well. I'm definitely getting better at it. This was 1/3 white and 2/3 green.

Nice work. I have plans to do this. Thanks for sharing.
It's not as hard as people say, just do a lot of reading and learning before you try!

They remind me of lily pads floating around in a pond. Denice
