Here are those three wheel-thrown chanukiot (Chanukah menorahs), still raw (unfired) clay, with first layers of brushed underglaze color applied, and the beginning of incised decoration and inlaid underglaze color.
(Right rear, no underglaze yet; Left, underglaze, not yet incised; Front, underglazed, partly incised and inlaid, not yet inlaid with the rest of the colors. photo Mimi Stadler 2014)
(A view from the top.)
I am experimenting with everything: forms, colors, top accommodations for glass cups or candles; angles of shamash (that candle doohickey on the front) placement, whether the clay will crack during drying and/or firing due to uneven stresses of drying at attachment points...much could go right, and (I hope not) much, wrong. In short, these are creative and risky times hereabouts.
