Saggar "unveiled"!!

When last we visited, I was preparing a saggar container for a new piece to be fired therein. (see prior entry)

Well, here's the follow-up, post-firing (cone 2)

Container looks like a kind of sad, steroided roasted pork, upon emerging from the kiln:


Next, break on through the shell - feels like a dinosaur egg:


And the piece is revealed.  I didn't know what to expect, but let's just say I was underwhelmed:




Can you tell which is the saggar tray debris and which is my newest ceramic work of "art"?


Thus endeth my foray into Saggartown.
