9th July 2017: My latest earthenware majolica firing

Here are photos of a few pieces from my latest earthenware “majolica” firing. Very pleasing results as the glaze and pigment both behaved, the kiln was obviously in a charitable mood, and the images all worked out well. Three commissioned  dishes. The wolfhound is a portrait of the recipients lovely dog, “Molly”.
