You are an amazing Potter. When will you be doing more vlogs on making things. I would love to see you making more. It is fascinating, I could watch wonderful cups, bowls, vases and much more all night long. From Sarah in England xx

Hello from northern Japan. A really lovely design on your saké flask (tokkuri). However, I think it is much taller than a traditional tokkuri, which is usually only a bit larger than the grip of one's hand. Any reason why it is so large? Thank you!

What is the tool/jig called that you use to trim the bottom of the bottle?

I have a question about making a "tokkuri", sake flask. I am a ceramicist and the question I'm looking for an answer for is being able to warm the tokkuri under heat. I have heard without really testing that heating ceramics with drastic and rapid temperature increases and cooling period can cause a piece to crack or shatter like with glass. Also the glaze could react differently to the cooling and heating shocks. What is your experience with creating a vessel that can be safe to heat without shattering, and what glazes did you use?

Pottery can be put in an oven and used as cookware, put in a microwave oven to heat up foods, but definitely shouldn't be put in a freezer or kept outside in cold temperatures as frozen water can crack it.

Hello! I wanted to know what is the name of the tool to center the ceramic bottle

[@kaitlynallison243]

It's called a Giffon Grip. One of the best investments for trimming! My wheel is old and vibrates really loudly with the grip, but it's so worth it for things like these bottles.
