Teapot and glaze work

Getting something from the kiln that matches or exceeds your expectations is rare, at least for me. I have come to appreciate almost everything that comes out over time, however picking something up out of the kiln that moves you right away does not happen very often.
Just yesterday I unloaded a firing and was blown away with the results of some glaze testing, or rather technique testing. I've been using the same glazes for a couple years and experimenting with layering, spraying, using raw oxides. I have also been playing with temperature. Slowly I have been getting little pieces of the puzzle put together. It is starting to come together. Right now I can just sit back and take time to admire the results and savor the moment.
