Soup Tureen

Soup Tureen

I started off throwing a 14 lb bowl and created a flange for the lid to sit on. Measuring the diameter of the bowl, I was then able to create a lid for the tureen. I knew that I wanted the spoons to hang from the bowl and designed hooks out of nichrome wire. I wanted the soup tureen to stand tall to allude to it's importance. I threw a separate foot and attached it to the bottom of the bowl. I also wanted the curves of the spoons to mimic the curves of the bowl. 

Here, I am adding the nichrome wire hooks, and playing around with the shape of the wire, which will reflect the design of the bowl.

I am seeing how the spoon looks as a whole and determining the height and shape of the spoon.

After I designed the bowl, I slowly let it dry out to avoid any cracking.
