Thanks, all, for the ideas on how to glaze round pots. Glad I asked, as my next try was going to be with some kind of tongs (which I don't have).
As to firing, these are pots with bottoms, so there is no need for stilts, etc. They are about as wide as they are high.
I just cannot dip/glaze them holding them upside down without holding them at the widest point, which does not work for doing the middle of the pot.
I have several pots to do, so I will try more than one way. A wide brush sounds like something I should be able to figure out as I brush stuff on pots now.
Also dipping the middle into a pan.
The wax idea is intriguing, I never use wax, but I can envision some good designs.
Suddenly my e-mail is not working, can't use the reply key, and I can't keep this from double spacing.

Try holding them upside down with one finger on the rim and the other hand on the foot. Make a recessed foot, rather than completely flat, so there is something to catch your fingers on when you flip it over after glazing. Then you just touch up the place on the rim with a paintbrush afterwards.
