This was the first pot I pulled out of the last firing, but I forgot to
photograph it (temmoku with kaki drips):

The temmoku is just my old standby that I subbed Mashiko
materials for. It goes amber over white slip and breaks red where thin
over iron slip. Interesting thing is, the feldspar I used here is
higher in silica than the original. (Kamado.) But I tried Fukushima
in tests, (less silica) and it doesn't work as well.
