The fired pieces

Identical in pattern to the first plate which collapsed in the kiln, this attempt survived so much better.Placing it within the setter meant it had the support it needed. unfortunately, some of the weaker areas close to the centre of the plate did crack though. In my next attempt I will change the pattern slightly to give these areas more strength and also balance out the cut out parts a little more. I need to work on a more fitting design for the feet also. Hopefully I'll manage to produce at least one completely intact plate!
The cup was able to support itself and so came out of the kiln perfectly in shape.
