Beautiful! I like the way you thoughtfully and artistically directed the balloon motion, the best I've seen. Makes me want one of yours on my shelf! (BTW, not criticism but I do wonder if an entirely black rim on that one would be a striking accent to complement the rest of the piece.)
I'm wondering if you could use it as accents at the lip and/or base or a band around otherwise conventionally finished wood vessels. My potter friend tried some interesting glaze once at the top of a big pot on what I think was a second firing. He put it on heavily at the top and the runs and sags down from the top over the base were intriguing.
Hey, in case you are interested in seeing some of my friend's pottery, about 15 years ago I shot a video of opening the kiln and he has some pictures of work in progress and finished pieces. I believe he makes the largest raku-fired pottery in the world, inventing the methods needed. He achieves the oxygen reduction atmosphere by lowering a huge SS can containing combustibles over the pots. His house looks like a museum inside!

I love to look a potter and other's turnings as inspiration.
