Faceted Casserole In Progress
Who thinks of casseroles in the summer? Potters, that's who. I've been making some now so they will be glazed and fired and ready for the cool weather. Pottery is not a quick process. Summer is also a time when I experiment with something new. You may have read my posts about making a faceted mug. I've taken it a step further and made a faceted casserole.
The handles and the knob on the lid are textured to enhance the texture on the facet but I left the lid smooth. I think it gives the eye someplace to rest but I think a few lines around the rim would be okay too. What do you think?

Is the cover/handle on the top to let steam escape (the open section in the middle?
ReplyDeleteNo Linda, the cover is solid, I make the handles that way so the lid can sit on it. It makes a great serving bowl. Look at the casserole in the slide show at the top of the blog and you'll see what I mean.
Deleteoh I see what you mean I've seen that casserole in the slide slow before but never realized the 'bowl' was the top to the casserole, what an excellent design for serving,
DeleteThanks Linda.
DeleteThanks Cheri, I ended up making 2, one with the lid decorated, one without.
ReplyDeleteFaceting like that is tricky, amazing that you made such a tidy piece with a good fitting rim!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gary. So much can go wrong while faceting, I'm happy they came out at all.
DeleteVery nice piece! I like a flat handle like that so that when you set the lid upside down on the counter it sits safely, not rolling around.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michèle, it's especially helpful if you have any condensation in the lid, it keeps the counters clean. Of course if you want to use it as a serving dish it could be pre-heated by cooking the casserole.
