Two earthenware mugs, thrown. Both painted in white slip, and glazed with earthenware transparent glaze. (The camera flash makes them look like whiter than they do in real life, when they are quite a yellowy-off-white colour.)
The one on the left has sgraffito marks scratched on (using a bamboo pen). I did it freehand though and it's a bit too wobbly for my liking. The mug on the right had its top dipped in black slip. I really don't like this mug - the shape is ugly (too much of a curve for what is quite a small squat little mug), and the glaze has bubbled horribly over the black slip. (If the glaze hadn't bubbled, then I would have preferred the mug if I had poured black slip inside too, so that the whole inside was black.)
