You're talking sculpture? Pouring is a popular
option for large pots, but works best with smooth
regular forms (unless you're trying for irreglar
on purpose). I nearly always brush my sculpture.
It allows greater control over the varied shapes
of the work, and allows me to modify the
application to suit the form instead of imposing
a more standardized all-over coating.

I don't do sculpture, so maybe there is a hidden factor here that I don't
know about. But I still brush all my glazes on all of my pots. I prefer it
to dipping because I have more control. Some people put a large basin under
a large pot and then pour their glazes over the piece.

You can use a pump-sprayer, the kind you can get a Walmart or
any garden store; the sort people use to spray their roses and
whatnot.
Just put your glaze in, thinned a bit, pump up the sprayer and spray.
Works fine, but will not allow for fine lines, etc. Use a blender or
sieve your glaze, first.

If you really cannot find a way of dipping like using a baby bath, it you
have two choices: either paint the glaze on or pour it over. Either method
needs a little practice if you have not tried it out before and good
working knowledge of your chosen glaze, because it may need to be thinner
or thicker than when you dip.
