Some stones have a habit of hiding their compromising flaws until you've spent many hours shaping and sanding to reveal them... I've actually been thinking about the fogcutter style mugs a bit lately - when you stick a handshaped or molded piece onto a form (mug or bowl), is that one of the areas where the air pockets can occur? Is that what happened here? The babaloon is very clever - I could see a whole animated tribe of these (similar to your bunny work) populating a mug shelf somewhere.
