clay: butter box

Clay Body: Red Velvet

Glaze: Coyote Sun Drop

Method/Firing: Handbuilt/Cone 6

I labored over this box with tar paper and coils and then lots of rasping and sanding and sponging as smooth as possible while still greenware. I was careful too with the glazing. The size is perfect for the California butter stick of 4 ounces. And so the dimensions for my favorite Kerrygold 8 ounces butter bar means I've got to make another different tarpaper template. But I'm running out of the Coyote Glaze and may have to start using yellow underglaze and Cone 6 clear glaze until I can get more.
