Here are a few little cups I made on Thursday afternoon. I guess Turkey has been on my mind a bit and these little 6 0z. cups (weight, not volume) came from the small cups that the Turks consume enormous quantities of tea from. The cups are small and refilled often. Below is one in its natural surroundings.
Above, Joseph blows glaze out of the spout of a teapot.
These are a fusion of the tulip shaped Turkish tea cup and a North Carolina swirl-ware. I've never made any swirl-ware and I rather enjoyed making them. They forced me to throw faster and fuss less over the details in order for the swirl not to get blended into the parent clay.
