The seconds shelf
Marked by the fire.
Not every piece comes out of the kiln the way it went in. A glaze runs, a rim pinholes, a plate settles a little off true. These are sound, food-safe, and priced down, and each one says plainly what happened to it.
The shelf is bare right now. Seconds turn up after most firings; join the studio list to hear when the kiln opens.
