Peacock Platter


Ok, I was walking through a shop with some friends, and one liked a peacock platter we saw.
I said "I can make that!"  So, this form comes somewhat from that design, though the decoration  is different.

Golly. If  I am going to go for "clean" on hand built, I need burnish and smooth my clay before it fires. The un-evenness shows up -- all white shiny now!  Plus, since I have little experience with glazes, I need to do a larger test tile with the design to show what gets blurry.  Plus...speed can work in a race, but not necessarily on a project.

Ullll.  But learning is good.
