Glazed in White House green. Filled with beer

First glaze firing completed

Half a term building. Delta with porcelain ruffles.

Bisque fired

Glaze firing - egyptian blue poured from the top down the body. Some drips of shocking pink over the top. The porcelain ruffles are painted with transparent.
