These lined vases aren’t too tricky to glaze, the key is not letting it adhere too thickly over the form, otherwise the line itself can be easily overwhelmed and partly hidden.
I know I’m glazing this the other way around from how it’s usually taught, but I have my reasoning for this. The pressure needed to submerge the vessel is considerable, and if the interior was already glazed as I did this, there’s a chance the internal glaze would be chipped or damaged in some way. So instead, I coat the outside first, then, when comes to lining the inside, I simply pour the glaze in, swirl it all around and then tip it out whilst rotating it, the key is handling the exterior very delicately while not accidentally whacking my hands into the thin glazed line. The above is a challenge, but with practice it becomes relatively easy to glaze pots cleanly.
By the way, all the excess dust that’s scraped off will eventually be sieved back into the larger containers of glaze the vase was initially lowered into. The sieve gets rid of any wax that’s inevitably shaved off the foot-ring, together with any other bits of debris that find their way into those basins.
The collection you see at the end are all recently made vessels, lined pots that work wonderfully in larger groups like this, or at least I think so.
