Yes, they are also chipping from the rims. Maybe I could try a long soaking at the beginning, I only do 30 minutes of soaking at the moment.

Hi! thank you for your answers. I tried 1250 and cups and thrown plates look much better now but I have small hand-shaped quite thin saucers and they are all bloated both glazed pieces and non-glazed ones. I have bloating areas on some cups as well. Do you think because they are too thin and that causes the bloating? The saucers on the very top layer of the kiln have less bloating. My bad I didn't use any cone because that was the second fire and on the first one I didn't get any bloating I used cones on the first fire and they all seemed to me right.

Hi! I have a question about Lavafleck clay which I use. Recently I've been having too much crack on my cups while customers using especially at restaurants and coffee shops. I don't have that before everything is same didn't change for years, 940 bisque and 1240 glaze firing. What might affect this event? Do you have any recommendations for firing and making the result much stronger?
