<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9586227, member: 76316"]Weirder than that, komo...I just put a loupe to it, an' found that each of those white spots are in the clay beneath the slip-coat, an' have 'erupted' through it, perhaps in the final firing. Very tiny dead-white crystalline grains in the clay...but only in about 1/5th of the diameter, a pie-wedge shaped area ~4" by ~2 1/2" or so. There are a few others, randomly distributed an' similarly caused, elsewhere.</p><p>There's also some faint writing on the bottom, an' I'll try to capture that in a pic...it'll get posted here if I succeed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
