Many projects employ the use of darker tones and horizontal lines to give the allusion of a project appearing shorter and wider than in reality. This is a wheel thrown cylinder that functions as a tall cup/mug. It is approximately 4 and a half inches tall by 3 inches wide at the lip. It has a small footed ring on its base and a small lip. The outer surface of the cup has ridges that emphasize the authenticity of the piece as well as its taller form. The entire project is glazed in a mystery glaze that turned out a darker green glaze much like shadow green but with hints of brown throughout its even consistency. The darker glaze in combination with the horizontal ridges on the outer surface of the cup, (caused by finger marks during pulling) give the allusion of the cup appearing shorter than its naturally tall and narrow form.
I apologize for the bad photo, there will be a "more better" one soon! I promise!
