This pot is slip decorated and uses a variety of techniques with the slip. First the Blue was painted on with a wide brush whilst rotating the pot on a turntable. This was allowed to dry to 'leather hard', then the white and some of the green were sponged on . Again this was allowed to dry a little. Then the wood of the tree was created by scraping away the blue green and white. The swing bar was also created this way. The ropes were painted on. Then a bit more green was sponged over the wood for foreground leaves. Then a slip trailer was used to spot fruit on the tree. I then spun the bowl on a turntable and painted the plum coloured rim and dark line, then used the slip trailer again to make green spots.
This is the side view. The feet are little pinch pots with holes in the bottoms.
