and black glossy pool in center of test bowl.
Interesting effect because test bowl was dipped from lip mid way down. =
Adventurine glaze held well around outside surface from lip to mid way
down bowl. Inside, the Adventurine sank completely under inner lip, =
leaving a wide white band of under glaze, and then showed from=20
midway down the bowl to a dark pool in center. Large pinholes inside =

Personal: Effect is interesting, such a great contrast between matt =

glaze is very dark and dense. The play comes from the smooth feel of =
the glaze and sparkling effect of areas.
