I think this is the best mug I have made so far. It is large but light, a strong and simple shape but enough detail on the lip and foot area to keep it interesting. (I did use a rib this time when shaping on the wheel). The black glaze has lots of depth with additional colors breaking through and the inside rim dripped into the Mayco shino glaze better than I had hoped. The black glaze is a Seattle Pottery Mottled Brown with added cobalt carbonate and red iron oxide. And most importantly, the glaze on the cobra stayed put. I am happy that it has a new owner who is very pleased.
