Flower vase

This vase I made last month. I applied blue slip, while slip. Underglaze color - turquoish blue, dark blue, terracotta and white. Glazaed it with clear. The color is not exactly what I was looking for. Terracotta interacted with blue during glazing and turned dark brown :(  
Also the brush strokes were not good because I could not see properly.

my casserole ...



The lid got stuck. Always better not to put glaze under the lid. Wax it really carefully, specially the sides or with more sharp edge. I tapped from all the sides and after an hour-effort finally it came out.
In tapping just do it patiently, gently. Use any kind of wooden object for this.
After that I rubbed it with stone to make sure that it opens easily.
