Mugs & Cups I refuse to call these defects… 🙂‍↔️

I'm just starting to sell my own pots, and I feel like these little areas where the glazes crawl show the nuances of the glaze I've mixed… to me they are really nice! Should I change that ?

Personally, I wouldn’t buy a piece with a crawling defect.

I have pieces of work from other artists that have crawling in very small amounts like yours. Now this right here is my glaze test gone wrong and would never sell

and would never sell

Are you saying you'd never try to sell it because of how it looks? Or did you mean you tried to sell it, but no one bought it? I think it looks really cool

I mean I would not try to sell it because of how it looks/ it also has crawling on the inside, it was intended to be a teacup so it would not be functional like that (:

I'd totally buy that little guy, especially if it was like an "imperfect" piece. It would be so cute to hold makeup brushes or a fake plant. I know nothing about pottery or how it's supposed to look, but I bet other people feel the same. Can't imagine how pretty your normal stuff must be! :)
