These are all tests for Jeannie’s Purple Glaze.

The back row is Jeannie’s purple dip first.  The front row is Jeanie’s purple dipped last.

First row starting left (Val’s turquoise and than Jeanie’s purple) next is Randy’s red and Jeannie’s purple, Cream and Jeanie’s purple and far right is bone and Jeanie’s purple (not much difference).

The back row has Jeanie’s on top which dominated all the colors.

I kinda like this combination, it’s a bit different for me and I like the subtly of this glaze.

Custom order Oval Soup Tureen

I got a call from Jackie, Colorado Mills Mall Furniture store, and she asked me if I could do a custom order for a client who likes my potter there.  Sure, you bet I can.  She wanted an oval soup tureen with a hole in the lid for a ladle.

Well ok, no specific design and neutral colors.   Hummmmm boring…so I added a flower that my grandmother hand made when she was a young girl in the early 1920’s.  It was a flower she remembered from the Tatra mtns where she was born.

Than I added a bit of a design in the middle, not really a foot, but looks like it could be?

I couldn’t just make an oval soup tureen with no details now could I?  Hope she likes it, if not, well I know it will sell!  Hummmmm
