Wow, wow, WOW! Gorgeous! Can I fill those with tea???? This is the first time I've seen you do a "single colour glaze" as opposed the the mixed one I've got. Is this just a creative-y thing, or are you planning to do other colours?

Fab pics of the cat - I *so* know how you feel! xox

I made some peacock/black ones last summer, and a friend bought a few. She asked for more, so I made more. I'm low on mug stock so I made extras. And yes, they are fully functional.

And Spider... well... it's the price we pay for his company. He's a lovely cat. :-)

I do like those mugs, especially the one at the bottom left of the first picture. It looks as if it might well hold a pint of good real beer.

So that's what a cone is - I'd been wondering what 'cone n' meant. It looks as if they droop over at set temperatures.

Give the Woollitts a stroke or three from me, please!

Heat work rather than temperature. That's why I thought going longer at 1260 would get me there eventually. 1300 is standard, but if it was a very fast firing, 1300 might only be cone 7 or 8.

And yes, that is a rather large one. I haven't measured it, but it is large.

Ah, I see - the cones measure the product of time and temperature, not just peak/end temperature reached.

And yes, that is a rather large one. I haven't measured it, but it is large.

I reckon a bottle of South Devon Brewery Devon Porter would fill it very nicely...

I just measured it in preparation for small talk with potential buyers today. It holds about 800ml, so you could fit the contents of an entire bottle of wine in there.
