Thread: Is there a resident potter in the house?

I am a pottery aficionado and I am pretty good and I have been pondering about making a 1 piece shuffle. I was thinking of a double wall cylinder like what the picture illustrates. I am wondering if any potter here has made something like this, if so how functional is the piece? What are some aspects that I should consider? I will be using clay to be fired@ cone 8-10 and would be using a white clay body with either 120 grog or sand.
Note I have thrown this type of containers before, but nothing that was under a 3/4 of a gallon.

There is a company called dirty bird pottery that makes similar scuttles to the ones ur describing I have one and like it check there web site for more info

I will take a picture of my scuttle & try to post it...give me a little while as I'm away from the house right now. I believe a fellow named Robert Becker made mine.

Thanks I will appreciate it.

From what I can tell, the inner bowl, outer bowl, spigot, and handle were formed individually and then put together. Hope this helps.

I actually think that it was town as I intend, because of the flat center and the curved rim. How easy is it to drain?

They drain pretty easily. I've tried quite a few. They're all functional. The biggest problem I've encountered is heat loss, so watch your wall thickness. Too thin and the heat dissipates pretty quickly IME. I'm no potter, but I'd imagine the outer wall should be thicker, and the inner wall that holds the cream a bit thinner.
