This is a great video! Thank you for the tips and specific explanation of the Butter Keeper Design - It's very helpful! Well done.

[@beezyflippins]

Great video! Thank you for the tips, and beautiful work by the way! Was the example butter bell you showed completed fired to cone 6 or cone 10?

[@salvaterrapottery]

Thanks for watching. I fire cone 6 electric

Thanks for making this video! I'm a new potter and want to try this. I assume you wax the rim of the pot and the outer edge of the lid and then dip?

[@salvaterrapottery]

Yes, was the rim of the bottoms piece and the entire lid part that sticks out. It is just easier that way. Good luck!

[@tracyairth8625]

@@salvaterrapottery thanks for your quick reply! I made one and love it! Now to the next one!

How do you glaze fire these without them sticking to each other or to the kiln shelf?

[@girlpaintsworld]

You keep the glaze away from the bottom half of the projects or make bisque “cookies” for them to rest on while they glaze fire. They can’t touch each other during the glaze firing process or they’ll be vitrified together

Thanks, I’ve had customers asking for one…also interested in your bat system? I have one of those husbands too, he makes alot of my tools and things..

[@salvaterrapottery]

We used double tempered Masonite to make the bats and the master they fit in. When they are new you don’t even need to underwire the piece. It will pop off the bat during drying and leave a nice sleek bottom
