Sakezuke are multi-functional objects for me. I enjoy drinking sake, especially on cool, damp bay area evenings. They also are a good vehicle for testing new glazes, easy to make, and the number that I have accumulated adds variety to my evenings.

		Three sakezuke. Variations on a base glaze. Middle sakezuke was slipped to block iron from the body entering the glaze.
		These sakezuke were also slipped, but the base glaze used had 3% rio.
		Two additional sakezuke that came from glaze tests. The one on the right was slipped on the inside.
