Olive Oil Pourers

I really enjoy sitting down at the potters wheel to throwing a dozen or so of the same item; it is relaxing and fun to play with different shapes, sizes and texture while working through which form will be the easiest to use for functional pottery.

My plan is to have the shape easy to hold and pour without an attached handle.


Below is a picture of the spout which slides in and holds a seal while pouring.  As you can imagine, the top diameter is critical with very little margin of error to ensure proper fit of the spout. 

Can you picture them finished, in color with glaze?

This is making me hungry... a little bread and olive oil before dinner sounds delicious!

Have a wonderful evening, Teresa

Nice. Very nice. I like the olive oil pourers. You sure are doing lots of great things in that studio of yours.

Have a fun day and play in the snow for me.
