Cherry Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 I inherited a tool box of stuff from my grandmother, who painted china. What are these used for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Are the narrow white things metal or ceramic? What shape are they? I can't enlarge the photo clearly. Do they fit into the holes in either of the larger piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Posted November 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 They're all ceramic. The sticks are triangular and fit into one of those plates. There aren't any round sticks. She used a low fire kiln that I never saw. Thanks for your help. Cherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Maybe stilts like this but missing the round sticks for the base with round holes? oldlady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Posted November 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Make sense. Don't know that I'd ever use them, but maybe someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 The triangular tghings are called plate pins (I have some) they look like as Min has pictured go into the base. I have never seen a base and use mine to mark a pot (put next to a pice in kiln to remember it later have glaze e fire) and also in a bisque to keep pots on side from rolling off car kiln when going in or out.Mine came with stuff when I bought out other potters (to many to recall) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
