This mug was designed by Bullet aka kingstiedye. When it came out of the kiln after glazing it had a whole lot of glaze skips. So I started re-glazing it. I heard a loud POP! I looked and it had cracked 2 mm's on the necklace. Maybe it's still OK. So I fired it. It came out looking the same but still had glaze skips. So I re-glazed it today. When the glaze dried and I looked the crack was now from the necklace to the bottom of the mug. Horrors, so much work gone. I have it in the kiln again just to finish the glaze off. It can be displayed but not drunk from. It becomes a free mug. Bullet came over to pick out the colors of glaze with me advising. In the end they were off. You can see I carved the right numbers here, 98.5 but then I saw another picture and changed it to other numbers 93.3. The carving was correct. This mug is cursed! Out of the kiln. All the glaze skips. Te second glazing. The crack. I didn't take photos of the third glazing. In two days it will be back out of the kiln, hopefully in one piece. Wendy
