TRAY Chic

At a student's request, we made trays inspired by a post on Ceramic Arts Daily a few weeks back.  I made several templates of various sizes and this happens to be one of the smaller ones (5 1/2" x 3") -

The pattern on this tray came from my Greek Keo INTAGLIO impressing mat and the 266 chocolate stoneware tray was glazed with the Opulence glaze, Meadow, which was applied and lifted before firing in a 5/6 kiln.  The exterior was treated with terra sigllata on greenware and simply coated with Renaissnce Wax after the firing.
