Large Plinth Piece in white stoneware

After the success of my upscaled black piece I was feeling more confident about attempting one in white stoneware. I was careful in my construction process and spent a lot of time on refining the surfaces and ensuring the connections were an adequate thickness to support the free standing additions. I was really pleased with the overall outcome of this piece after the first firing. 

I chose to glaze this using the black crawl glaze, both to give consistency over the collection of work I was making and because I had finally resolved the problems I had been having with it. I do like the piece, but am not as keen on the black crawl as I am on the white and feel like a better glaze option needs to be explored for the white clay body and this is something I plan to do in the future. I may ultimately decide not to glaze the white pieces and fire to a higher bisque temperature enabling them to stay a whiter colour than the creamy white which occurs at around cone 8.
