I used four different glazes to layer a design around the pot. And, I blackened the feet and lower part of the pot.
I high fired it higher than originally fired ( I could tell this becuase the clay darkened more). I was suprised, no cracks! and no more warping than the pot originally had ( A trademark of cheaper older chinese pots!)

He hasn't seen it yet. I think it will be a Christmas gift from his wife. It will be picked up tomorrow.

I'll try to get a picture of the tree in it after he gets it repotted again.
I hope you enjoyed this "Chistmas Story"
