The lid is made by throwing a shallow plate and then trimming it upside down to get the profile.Add a knob to the lid by throwing another small piece of clay to the top.Two small handles added to the side.
Simple Cobalt Slip decoration is added in small bands to the pot.If the pot is a truly functional piece, such as a casserole, the lid must also function in as efficient and effective way as possible.
