i have added a few pix of my last firing.
two hours+ of down firing at 1900F.
note the complex surface of both mine and colleen's pots.
my oil bottle is typical of 30 that i fired.
colleen's tumbler is very complex.

the iron red sure was helped, it too is complex
with many orange and red crystals.
some say this ruins iron red.
not in this case.
only if you want jet black.
