In the old days, it was only the jar for jam/honey/mustard had the small notch for a spoon. The sugar pot does not have the notch,simply because you do not want a wet spoon to be put into a sugar bowl/pot.
Excellent point! I only mention it however, as it is quite common anymore to see notches in lids for sugar bowls. Just Google image search for sugar bowls and about 25% will show notches. I think it is just like words change their meaning sometimes through common use and acceptance... so has the notched sugar lid. ;)
I'm doing a pottery session on Thursday with my girlfriend, Im certain she is going to make the series of unfortunate events sugar bowl, while I, am going to make the anastasia music box. I am so exited
Right, Angel- when the lid and pot are done, I place the lid ON the pot- then I allow to dry slowly. Drying and firing a lid while ON is really helpful to make sure the lid will still fit after glaze firing. Sometimes, a pot or lid may warp, but keeping them together, really helps. (I am making a video on how to glaze a lidded pot, I'll have that up in a few weeks!) :-) When bone dry, then I fire, glaze, and refire. I have some videos on how I glaze if you want to check them out! :-) Karan
Love your videos! Great explanations and tips. But can you please ask the person whom always needs to cut a piece of wood while you make a video to hold off for a few minutes... A little respect for the potter please!!
Haaahaaahaaa!!! That's the noise of my potter's wheel would you believe! The motor is SO loud! Most of my videos I try to mute it, but it takes so much time! I am wanting to get a new wheel soon- so hopefully that won't be an issue!!!
Nice! This is exactly what we'll learn next week in pottery class! Thank you!
Thank you! I just made my first small lidded pot like this and just need to trim it, so this was really helpful! Love your videos!
That's wonderful!!!!! :-) Keep up the good work! :-)
You are an amazing teacher!
I always have problems with lids. Very helpful. Thanks!
Beautiful! We just got a wheel and a kiln! This was a helpful video and that self centering top is amazing!
Great videos! Always teaching me new things, thanks!!

I would like to know what do you after, you just let it dry or what it takes to be finished.
