Each still has it's story...
This was one of my favorites from 2008.
This was the example peice that took a perch in the studio for a few seasons.
It was a simple chawan, but it was a racer!
I loved it's foot, I loved it's propotions, I loved it's balance, but it was the incredible optic surface that did it for me.
The success of the surface was a test glaze combo that turned out to be a freak occurrence. I threw a whole bunch of work at trying over and over to duplicate the results, and it only worked a few times, the rest was hammer fodder.

I have a pile going for my own Smash Pot Day. Friends and family gasp 'No!' when I tell them these pots will soon be shards. I try to tell them it's therapy. Sometimes ya just gotta smash something... well, that and I don't want to look at them anymore. Happy smashing! :)
