Ready for bisque firing.  

Thomas Coleman’s porcelain and Amaco’s Velvet Underglazes (Jet black, Radiant Red, Flame Orange, Turquoise Blue, and Mint Green).  Three coats of the black, brushed on and then burnished.  Sgraffito.  Dots of color added last – 2 to 3 layers of underglaze.  

I also made some test tiles to see how well the color holds up at cones 05, 6, and 9.  

Think I want to make a series of these kinds of pots with a bit of a striking “surprise” on the inside, in contrast with a very smooth, flat outside surface.
