Snzanne Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi all! Long-time reader, first-time poster. Has anyone here ever tried to fire (to cone 10) a small bowl underneath a larger bowl, fired upside down? Of course the larger bowl would have to have an unglazed rim to be fired upside down--but wouldn't it create its own unique atmosphere in there for the smaller bowl? I'd love to experiment at my next firing but am wondering a) whether anyone has experience doing this and any feedback/insight you'd care to share and b) if this technique has a name?

liambesaw Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hello! Yes you can, it's called saggar firing. It is used to create a neutral to reducing atmosphere in a kiln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Rim of the upside bowl could very well warp out of shape unless it's on a waster slab of the same clay the bowl is made from. Just a very thin flat donut shape to sit the rim on really helps prevent the rim going out of round. Welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcery Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I'm working out a way to nest things like this currently. Rectangle Bonsai Pots, so the covering one will have holes, but it still has potential to be a half cone cooler inside, certainly less Oxygen. I've been wondering about a third, I'll test it soon enough. Sorce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
