[QotW: Is trimming just a clean-up job for you, or do you use it to enhance the bottom of the pot in some way?]

@Syncrasis, try to make your bottom undercut a little more, leaving a deeper ledge down there to catch the drip.

Thanks, I'll give that a try! Admittedly, a few of my other cups of this shape had drips that ran off so that will help further reduce the risk.

I just can't leave a form un-trimmed. I even trim the bottoms of my coasters. I have fun playing with depth and concentric rings, especially around my logo stamp. It's a lot to put on the underside of a piece but I just don't feel I've finished it if there's not something to see when you turn it over. 

Sometimes I like to play with sharp undercuts and glaze drips too.  It's safer than drips on a vertical wall.
