I made this with scrap clay and experimented with a glaze I hadn’t used yet for gas firing. The finish looks shiny gray, like a dark pewter, in some light, but more like a shiny brown in daylight. It’s basically a push plate with an added foot ring, but more like a bowl or candy dish because of the shape. The basic technique is to put the slab on a thick piece of foam rubber and push another form (in this case, a rubber toy ball) into it to give it a plate or vessel form.
