Some project use different glazes and make intentional shapes with the various glazes in an attention to make the project appear smaller or larger than inThis is a plate that was thrown on the wheel and it has a foot ring. The diameter of the plate is approximately 6.5 inches wide. The plate has a bit of a square lip that folds up around the edge. half of the plate was glazed in white, the opposing half was dipped in cobalt blue and then half of the plate (containing a quarter white and a quarter cobalt blue) was dipped in light turquoise and the overlapping affect of the turquoise and the white was a light blue-turquoise color, and the turquoise and cobalt turned out a darker, blotchy blue. The transitioning color which are glazed to form a geometrical patter gives the plate the effect of having more surface area than it would appear if the plate was glazed entirely in one color.
