Some ceramicists create multiple ceramic projects with the intention of making the multiple projects related in some manner, and some of the techniques that ceramicists might use to emphasis this relation is my using similar glaze colors and patterns, as well as similar shapes and forms. These are three individual projects that share faintly similar shapes and glazes, and these similarities are intended to illustrate the connection between the three different wheel projects. Each project is a wheel thrown bowl/vase pot with a footed rings and lips. The first bowl is 6.25 inches wide by 3 inches tall, the second one is 5.2 inches wide by 3.2 inches tall, and the third is 5.2 inches wide by 4.2 inches tall. In all of the projects the walls are uniformly thick and smooth, having narrower bases and wider tops, each project also has a lip and slightly bubbled or convexly curved walls. Projects 2 and 3 have gently outward flaring lips, where as bowl 1 has a fairly flat lip. All three of the projects are entirely covered in a matte turquoise glaze that turns out more green than turquoise or blue after the kiln. The identical glaze color and pattern, as well as the fairly similar shapes/forms, of the three individual projects clearly demonstrates the intended relation between the three pieces based on the creator's opinion.
