retirement

You always wonder, or maybe just now and then if you're lucky "wow, I made the perfect piece, I should retire now because I have achieved perfection I can never top". I like this teaset, a LOT. Just out of the kiln. New jade mix experimental glaze. YESssss. As for the top, I had not made a rim and gallery like this in a while, where the lid sits down into the pot this way. Gotta make more.
Coincidentally, or not, I had a pic here of the set and edited it nicely a few mins ago, and DELETED it by accident. Kinda tired. the wife was out late and I swear, the sound of her flossing last night is like elephants dancing, KERCHUNK KERCHUNK KERCHUNK so I am a little sleepy and retook the photo.....and, um, accidentally flushed the potty a minute ago while she was washing her hair, an accident that cuts off the water flow and hopefully will NOT ruin her day...
