Well, yesterday's firing was a FAIL :o

The Black Pearl Mug has been renamed to The Black Pearl Exiting From a Fog Bank Mug :lol: I've never had this clear glaze get cloudy like that

My black pearl for the pond had a different black glaze on it, it came out with HUNDREDS of glaze skips on it, I've never seen that either. This was an old glaze that I had rehydrated, mixed, and strained but something went wrong. Time for me to buy some new glazes. This pearl looks OK from a distance and it's not used for drinking so it will work until I get a new one made.

My Chief Lapu Lapu mug went into the kiln this morning. I used the same clear glaze on it also and thought about putting the same black glaze on the inside - but didn't. Will open the kiln tomorrow morning and see what the verdict is.
