Here are my latest barrel- fired pots. I have started doing a last polish with vegetable oil and the results are quite amazing. The finished pot is glossy and the surface is dense and smooth, no wax is necessary, the colours are vibrant with lots of subtlety. Even before firing the pots are shiny. the benefit here apart from esthetics is that there is no need for varnish or wax to be applied after firing and ,so, these are compatible with food.
