The Remains of Ophanim Pot 1

Unfortunately, some anomaly of heat convection caused the glazes in this kiln to run and this piece was badly damaged.  It's two intertwined slab pots with a pattern of eyes and wings resembling the mythic angelic beings known as Thrones or Ophanim.

The lid was placed on a higher shelf and was the only part that didn't run.


The glaze ran down the side of the pot and stuck to the kiln shelf, so that when I tried to remove it, one chunk of the pot remained stuck to the shelf.
