I use no glaze on any part of the undersides of my plates, including
the undersides of the rims.
They're wood-fired doncha know; I want to see the clay and flashings.
Same for bowls; from the bottom you see no glaze.
The unglazed surfaces are burnished after trimming, and the feet are
polished a sandpaper wheel after firing, so everything's nice
and smooth.
If I didn't use a wood-fired kiln, I still would not glaze the bottoms
(inside the footrings) of plates. To me, it just ain't natural for
handmade stoneware.

Dear David;
I hope I get a chance to demonstrate how 'natural' my roller trimmed
feet on plates can feel and look. Let's have a meal together sometime.
I envy your regular use of a wood fired kiln, BTW.
Cheers, Hank
