Good way of putting it, John. Truly, when I am ready to fire my kiln,
putting the little rooster kiln god on top is much like putting the star
atop a Christmas tree in the sense that it kinda finishes it.

Many thanks,

At this point in times it appears to me that "Kiln Gods" have evolved to
being simply a traditon and nothing more. Nothing positive, nothing
negative, just because it was done in the past, it is now done, and will
be done.....a simple tradition.
