I'm pretty excited about this pitcher. It isn't perfect and the proportions are off, but I managed to sit down and coil this piece into existence at a faster rate than any other piece I've done. Either that means I'm getting better or my lack of attention on getting the portions right meant I could cruise through.
My only issue (besides the proportions and asymmetry) is the weight. The wall thickness was larger with this groggy clay which added unwanted weight. I've done some wall thickness studies for three cups that look at trying to improve this, and I'm feeling confident it can get there. The next pitcher I make will be slab-built from a template I made using these studies.
