This little pot is about 3.5 inches high. The top was dipped in a rutile/titanium wash.
I made these for myself, because I had a need for them, and made extras, of course. I need a catchy name for them...Page weights, Pageminders, Book weights?
The pot on the right was thrown upside down, and a pad of clay added for the bottom. I had some extra bowls in this load for our local "Empty Bowls" event, but didn't get them fired in time.
These go with the set of dishes from an earlier posting (a few ran past the foot in that firing, so these are replacements) Below are dessert dishes for the set-
This is a ten inch baking dish. The glaze is Italian Straw from Laguna. Actually a cone 5 glaze, but it went to cone 7, no problem.

This firing was one of the few where I had cone packs on each shelf. I used 6,7, & 8 cones. The top shelf went to cone 7, and the rest of the kiln went to cone 8 really flat! I have both digital and analog pyrometers. The analog one registers low at the top of the firing, and the digital one went to 1240C, which is only between 6 and 7. But I do hold at the top, so it's heat work, I guess.

I had suggested "Open Book" as in "My life is an ...". But what occurred to me at first glance was "Page Lock" because they looked like tiny padlocks, or could be made to do so. Now I think I know what I've done wrong; that UserName thing. Gini
