I thought the Deep Green would go first, but the Turquoise is O-U-T, out! The Turquoise was based on Tiki-Kate asking for a mug in a Celadon color, she was saying it's a really retro, underused type of glaze these days. Actual Celadon is kind of flat colored, so I looked around for a similar glaze that would be transparent and real Tiki-mug shiny. The turquoise came out way better than I could have imagined; it goes to a deep sea-blue in the nooks, pale on flat surfaces, and looks genuinely Eisenhower-era. Anyway, thanks! We're doing a crazoid "Gold Run" of custom colors and experiments, gold trimmed, just a few will be done, and I'll post those in a few weeks.
