Title: "20,000
Leaks Under The Sea" (Steampunk Jug)
#170
of the last 1000 Major Jugs By a lifetime Potter/Sculptor.
Comments:
"Crusty old diving helmets are cool decorations but
just might not be the best thing for underwater exploration.
The
Jug:
is thrown on the potters wheel then sculpted by hand . He
is glazed with my own grungy metallic glaze , then fired
in my homemade kiln to 2300f. He has all sorts of interesting
textures colors and details.
The
insides of my jugs are always glazed with food safe, lead
free glazes. He is high fired stoneware and fully functional.
The faceplate is plexiglass. The water is an acrylic resin
and the gauge face is an old pocketwatch crystal. He is
definitely an original
He
even comes with his own song...

Pretend it's being sung by a smart-assed crab

Recently
my wife asked if I thought I could make 1000 more jugs.
I don't know if I'm up to it, but it sounded like a challenge
to me. I've decided to give it a try. I'll document my progress
by numbering each piece from now on, beginning with number
"1 of the last 1000 major jugs". Maybe
I'll make it to 1000. Maybe I won't but it's your opportunity
to participate in the experiment and maybe own a bit of
pottery history. Each piece is an original, handmade work
of art signed, dated and numbered.
Each comes with a Certificate of Originality.
What if I make more than 1000? Unlikely, but we'll cross
that bridge if we get to it. I'd have to make 150 jugs a
year for the next 7 years, Frankly, I don't want to work
that hard.
Only major one-of-a-kind jugs will be numbered in the 1000.

S/H & PAYMENT INFO :::
I
ship via USPS or UPS to the USA only. I might ship to Canada
if you are willing to pay the extra shipping . I usually
ship within 3 working days after payment clears. Weekends
and holidays excepted.
I take great care in the packaging & shipment of my
works. All works shipped are fully insured. I use new clean
boxes and packing materials . Once I give the package to
the shipper I have no control over how long it takes to
be delivered to you.
I
hate being overcharged for shipping so I don't do it. Shipping
has gotten ridiculously expensive and I don't make any profit
on it. In fact, I usually lose money on shipping. If I overcharge
you I either upgrade your order to Priority or refund the
difference.
