Survivor

I wondered whether putting this tea bowl right at the edge of the firebox was a good idea.  At some point during a stoke it was knocked into the firebox where I found it after unloading, lying on the grates.  Amazingly, after having great hunks of wood tossed onto it, it rings clear!  Not a crack.  Now I have a new matcha bowl!

Illness delayed the firing but here are the pots, at last.
