My first cup made came out of he kiln perfectly. Sadly the other two pieces I put into the kiln didn't make it. Both feet on the pieces seemed to have air bubbles or some sort of tear and they broke off during firing. I attempted to salvage the taller cup and am yet to work on the broken bowl. I hope I can salvage them or at least make a copy. The shape was beautiful and I' really like to have multiple of them.
