These pots went through two glaze firings. The first glaze firing did not fire to temperature for some reason and the pots were crusty and flaky. So I touched up some bare spots with glaze and hoped for the best. The second firing went into a much newer kiln which fired differently than the first, older kiln (10+ years old) and got a very differently drippy results than I usually get with this glaze combination of C.W. Plumb under Snowflake. The lidded pot stuck to the shelf and a bit broke off at the base and the lid fit is wobbly now but how dramatic! I am going to make some test pieces and use a bisque dish under it as a glaze catch. I have my doubts as far as duplicating this look, but try I must!
