    They were originally used by farmers who worked in the fields to carry water. They weren’t glazed so the water slowly evaporating through kept it cool. They held them by putting their arms through (hence the cork top. It helped keep them cool and when they needed a drink it was right there!

      If you use it as a decanter you just rinse with water and a few drops of Dawn. Rinse with water until clear then lean it upside down and let air dry.
      If you're very worried about germs use a bleach water mix of 50/50 and run it through, after clearing out the Dawn,. Again rinse it clear and let air dry.

    They make nice little flasks too. I like throwing the outer wall second so it doesn't get in the way and the inter wall higher, it being easier to flair it out than the outer in. WOW that glaze is thick, looks good enough to eat. These are fun to make, nice job.

    How about making the proportions more like an actual donut? You know, with the hole being narrower than the actual ring? Then you could make it a cute donut-themed coffeepot with glazing it similar to the first one. Like an actual replica of a donut, but scaled up 😚

    I'm ukrainian, we call it "kumans". This decanter traditionally used for alcohol. Was considered that contact with natural clay proposed to keep perfect temperature of the drink and gives to it unique flavor. Previously, the kumans were used at weddings and large feasts. , People who served guests put them on their hand when serving drinks, thereby freeing their hands for other dishes

    In ancient Greece people would use those and they would put their arm in the hole and the pot would be perfectly shaped to their arm so all they had to do is bed over and the liquid would pour out. It also made it so they could carry lots of things.

Then make some cups and put into the circle to make them a set!!! They should look like a duck 🦆 and ducklings 🐥

  • @andrewcohen4366
    @andrewcohen4366 5 років тому

    Like you said, the base is going to be sturdy. I’d probably want to make the whole thing lighter. So you could punch or cut some holes in the base. Glaze wise I’d go with white inside. And maybe if you do put holes in the base you could either texture the outside with a matching hole shaped pattern and/or douse it with engobe and etch through?

    I definitely wouldn't use it for tea; loose leaf would be a hot mess, and bags would have a hard time getting to all the water to steep properly. I don't do wine, so I can't speak to whether or not it would be a good decanter. I would for sure use it as a super cool water pitcher, though.

    It reminds me of the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz. Cool as hell.
