Apparently this is what happens when the Fire gods of the Kiln blow their nose in a bowl.

This was also done in a saggar soda firing
don't remember the glazes, I think I used two different kinds
the bowl is about 15 inches in diameter
made in 2009 or so

Saggar Soda firing
I forget the glaze
Approximately 7-8 inches in diameter
Made in 2008-09 (I think...)

Did achieve the desired effect here with slashing and the kisses were a pleasant surprise. Definitely consider this one more successful than the previous plate.

I didn't quite get the effect I wanted to with the slashing and the kiln sneeze was unexpected - not too sure what it does for the piece but I'll leave that for interpretation.
