Teapot 1 & 4 fired

After a blast of the snow last Friday, things calmed down, and fired the kiln on Wednesday.  I gave up the bottom two shelves due to oxidation and placed the unglazed ware there last firing. When I was loading this week, I thought using this as a saggar (flip over and used as a cover) to see.  It turned out the ware inside the saggar got reduction while other pieces around was oxidized. Funny thing.  I did not put anything to help reduction inside the saggar.  This needs further testing.



Teapot 1 and 4 are fired.  I like both.  Come out good.
