Thank you, neighbors, friends, visitors from near and far who stopped by my Studio this last weekend!
I've noted several suggestions:
  - larger serving bowl
  - honey jars with integrated honey spoon/thing
  - red clay bowls glazed with the liner glaze inside and outside;
      over the red clay, the liner appears gray
  - more wares in the Teal Blue
  - dinner plate sets
  - larger ramen style bowl, with cover and integrated chopstick holder

Very pleased with this teapot; it pours nicely!
The two tea mugs are very close to the same size - the camera I'm using distorts close ups.

Here the liner glaze is waxed over the rim and down the inside an inch or so, ready for the outside to be glazed.
After the wax is fully dry, I'm cutting with a razor knife and wiping away the excess liner glaze off with a sponge.
The chatter marks are filled with glaze. I'm dampening with a sponge, brushing the glaze over the marked area, then wiping away the excess with a sponge.

Unloaded Saturday's bisque load yesterday, got a good start on sanding off any rough spots, inspection, and washing off; looking to finish the rest today, then liner glaze the whole lot.
How the pot will feel when finished is revealed at this stage, it's fun!
A customer asked for covered Ramen bowls last year; I've been working on them! These prototypes are wider across the bottom than my other bowls, which allows for more volume for the same height and width.
The teapot is a bit bigger than earlier prototypes, and it pours well.
