@@NyxWhiteFang Ground spices should definitely be in a sealable jar for multiple reasons, you can put frequently used whole spices in these jars. Or use them for other small things like sewing notions if you prefer.
@@ragnkjaOften used loose leaf Tea could perhaps be put in. I’m thinking of Chamomile specifically. Sugar, or Honey if the pot is glazed. For Spices, Red Pepper Flakes are a common one. Or Freshly Dried Peppers generally.

I use tiny jars all the time, as a fiber artist! I use them for my tools and supplies such as stitch markers, needles, tatting shuttles, pins, and more. I also use them as an owner of a tiny bird - many of my pet supplies fit into such jars, and I also collect molted feathers in them.
oh those are the kind of little jars that are perfect for holding small amounts of loose leaf tea, (especially if the buyer fits a small silicone ring around the lid to help keep more air out) its a good size for basically anything small and loose. buttons! coarse grained salt!, rock sugar for tea time! little jars and caddies are a super nice thing to have on hand.
Theres a point between machine like precision and very human care which the very best production throwers can replicate with consistency, and its amazing. This is a great example of that. Absolutely lovely
I would love using one of these for salt or other spices, they are absolutely lovely and charming. You should be proud of creating such a delicate and beautiful thing.
These look like pots that every person gives their own special, particular use. I hope one day I can buy one of these! Thanks for your videos Florian. Your work is precious.
I love these little pots, particularly seeing them all together. A grouping of 3 or 5 would be wonderful on a mantel or window sill. I can think of a few uses for them: loose tea or salt in the kitchen, rubber bands or paper clips on a desk, cotton balls or small hair clips in the bathroom. I would likely use them as small vases or to hold my stitch markers for crochet.
I find your video somewhat therapeautic. In a fast paced anxiety driven high on dopa generation, this art of pottery is something that soothes my mind. Will try my hands in this soon!
Thank you so much for explaining the process and showing everything from start to finish. I find all of this so fascinating! Your pots are so beautiful and I love these small ones. What really astounds me, though, is how you don’t drop these little pieces into your buckets of glaze! As I watch this, I feel that if I were to do this, my glaze buckets would be full of accidentally-dropped tiny pots! 😂
I grew up with an antique foot-powered flywheel pottery wheel out in the barn, never once got around to putting clay on it but it was still fun. Apparently my uncle spent some time at the local Ye Olde village as a potter's apprentice.
These really are darling. I love seeing the firing process and the glaze transformation. The glassy like crackle is soo soo pretty. I also liked the larger version of these in the background. I feel they'd hold flour and rice so nicely.
LOVE your video!! So informative, and not a lot of talking. And outdoor shot was nice. Please keep doing these. Great to see someone so dedicated, and talented.
I also love making and using small lidded jars. They can help tidy up cluttered spaces and they look so cute ;-) Btw, thanks for the tip with the grinding paste. I had the exact same paste in my shed for years but didn't use it for pottery until you showed it in an earlier video. I absolutely love the feel of those ground contact areas.
I‘m not a potter (other than a few attempts at school decades ago). But I live crafts and work with my hands. I love your videos and find them relaxing.
Always a big pleasure to watch until the end of your videos. I found them very informative and inspiring. I’m thinking seriously get one of those for my blended coffee ❤
They could function nicely as spice jars with a little wax or something to assist in making them airtight. They'd also be really good for storing small things for crafters, like beads, strings, or small tools.
These small jars would make an excellent decorative sugar jar for setting on the counter for making coffee or what not if you can leave enough room between the jar and lid to set a rubber gasket to keep moisture out of the sugar. I would love to have some for that if the gasket could be figured out. Also you could make some pretty awesome larger jars for flour and things also with a gasket. I live in a very humid area and being able to properly seal these jars is very important and I don’t love the normal plastic jar options. I would really prefer to use jars like you make but is not practical without a seal
What are the 2 different types of plugs/stoppers. Will you please explain if there are 2 different kinds being changed out for when kiln is in reduction mode.
When pots are being thrown, how do you make sure that dimensionally you get the size you want in the final product after the firing, since they tend to shrink? Do you make everything a certain dimension bigger, or is it normally just guess work
Could a Gas Kiln be made to use Hydrogen Gas at some point, as a more sustainable alternative to natural Gas? Since Hydrogen can simply be Split from Water with electricity. Theoretically it should work similarly since burning it also consumes oxygen in the air, as opposed to the resistive Heat from Electric kilns. Making Reduction Firing possible. I'm sure there's specifics that are very different tho,
just curious- are those temperature spikes that line the top of the kiln recoverable in any way, say by hanging them inverted during a firing, or are they just a sunk cost? always a pleasure to be welcomed into your process, thank you for sharing
Well, you can't really fire them again, you can grind them up and add the materials as grog to clay perhaps? Or, I've seen people use them in a decorative way, (still fired functionally), but they're pressed into a small carved dragon and they melt as if the spines of the beast, and then they're sold for a few quid.
@@floriangadsby aye, they've got some form to them, i'd imagined someone might have used them as-is (or post-use, i guess) for decoration. likesay, the question just popped into my head, good to know
Sir, as an American cannabis user, we want these for our coffee table stash of grass. Please dont take any offense to that, we dont put our prized flower into just any container. If someone is using your jar for that reason, it is like someone putting their finest wine in the most elegant bottle.
It is a kaolin formula, emulsion. It is used to prevent the shelf from damage. When a glaze drops it won't stick to shelf that easily, and there are chances it could be removed (although still it is hard, depends how big/small is the drop or point of contact with glazed pot)
From watching other videos, it might not change much from the electric firing. The thing that would have changed would be the iron bits in the clay melting. So probably not much change. Also from a cost perspective, could not be worth doing
Most clay bodies need to be fired twice to vitrify the ceramic. You don't have to add glaze for the second firing. If clay is not vitrified it will still be porous.
I understand not trimming the lip of the jar before trimming the lid for the jar, like you said, it just becomes too delicate, but how come it can withstand the force when you're trimming the bottom and applying all the pressure from your finger and the rest of the vessel? anywho, I enjoy your content, you understand how to make videos very well, and you're an amazing ceramicist.
Watching your whole creation process from beginning to end is always so satisfying, especially on such a diverse set of shapes! (I think the one that sort of looks like a chess piece is my favorite.) My father recently gave me a pot he made in college back in 1968 so I started sending him links to your videos - I'll have to send him this one too. Thank you for the wonderful content!
Your beautiful work has inspired me to take a pottery class. I'm a woodworker, and the lathe is one of my favorite tools. I've often thought of it like making wooden pottery.
Small jars aren’t useless at all, they’re perfect for anything from spices to sewing notions.
Dice shaker/rollers :o
I'd love to use them to hold water for painting!
Spices should be kept in an airtight container if you want them to last more than a year, especially ground ones

I agree these will be great to store loose leaf tea! Good idea about the rubber/silicone ring! They’ll look cute sitting next to the teapot!!

This is a great example of that. Absolutely lovely
I love these tiny jars. They're beautiful, and you can collect so many different things in them - or just collect the jars themselves. ;)
I finally received my small cylindrical white jar. I LOVE it. It is truly magical to hold after watching for all this time.
I would love using one of these for salt or other spices, they are absolutely lovely and charming. You should be proud of creating such a delicate and beautiful thing.

@@AlanDayley I agree! spinning the lids was super satisfying ❤️
I do love these. As a beginner, I always learn a lot from your videos. Thank you!
Love your work florian. You have a wonderful aesthetic. I would love to have an architectural planter in your aesthetic
You say these jars are too small to be useful, but I would save my move precious spices and teas in these. As always, absolutely stunning work

I did make it to the end. It is fascinating watching you work. You seek perfection and you get it. Thanks for sharing.
i always need more vessels for my bits and baubs, I think those are my favorite kinds :)
These really are darling. I love seeing the firing process and the glaze transformation. The glassy like crackle is soo soo pretty. I also liked the larger version of these in the background. I feel they'd hold flour and rice so nicely.
Small but perfectly formed, great video to watch learn and admire. thankyou

I really appreciate how seamless the angle of the lid’s edge matches the angles in the jar to complete the profile of the piece. ❤
I‘m not a potter (other than a few attempts at school decades ago). But I live crafts and work with my hands. I love your videos and find them relaxing.
so helpful, I'm going to try making a lidded jar next!
Always a big pleasure to watch until the end of your videos. I found them very informative and inspiring. I’m thinking seriously get one of those for my blended coffee ❤
Of course I made it to the end! Great work, as always.
The handwriting though!
They are beautiful keepsake jars. I always watch to the end. Thanks
Those are beautiful jars, amazing work! Just discovered your channel and already love it!
I love your shapes! So inspiring, I had to go get my sketchbook to get all the ideas down. I am a jeweller. 😊

the montage/ time lapes edit was tasty
Your process is amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Love your videos! So eloquently delivered and helpful 🙏🏽
Little pots are fabulous, we all have little things that need storing in little jars, also this glaze is something else ❤
Of course you have beautiful calligraphy like handwriting!
The pot at 24:44 looks like a bell to me, and prolly my fav out of all of the 25
So, you throw about 2 mm wider lids? Your work is the definition of precision!
More or less, just a fraction larger means I've got excess material to work with incase my jars are thrown incorrectly.
Your pots are so perfect, i kept feeling your hands were ginormus!
I love the small pots. Might be one of my most favorite things I’ve watched you create.
Thank you, very enjoyable to watch and learn - the pots look great. Keen to see how you’ll improve the feet
These are so sweet! And as always, there’s so much to be learned from watching your videos, and not only about pottery. Fascinating!
You made me really Love ceramics
I gyatt to watch Florian Gyattsby
These look gorgeous
Nailed again. 🫡
21:32 my favorite part of the video!
Those glazes with the fleck in the clay 🤌
Found your channel a week ago, now trying to work out where I can do a course on pottery.
Pleased to have you onboard and GOOD LUCK!
Always a joy to watch!

So shiny, so new.
Those mini jars looks so cute 😅
That's the perfect way to describe them really.
25 minutes of a Florian video and then football ⚽️ Sunday evening sorted then 😂
You can put your weed in there.
Made it to the end as always
This is so helpful
I feel like a diamond blade on a grinder would be a better tool than a hammer at removing stuck pots
Make some of these small pots with the red clay❤
I made it to the end.
It is true: Size does not matter, only the technique.
What are the 2 different types of plugs/stoppers. Will you please explain if there are 2 different kinds being changed out for when kiln is in reduction mode.
reminds me of edmund de waal creations
hello florian .... love the clean pottery that you make and follow al your videos ... but can you make a locking jar in your style ???
Amazing
Would these forms be harder to throw off the hump? Would it help the production speed to do either the bodies or the lids off the hump?
This is what I get for asking questions before finishing the video xD.
Thanks for anticipating my question, Mr Gadsby.
When can we see the crimson pots fired? I'm curious to see the final color result.
When I fire them, yes! I've just starting another making cycle and have another project I need to start on, so it may be a while unfortunately.
ive seen just about every video to the end
Tiny teapots next? 😅
When pots are being thrown, how do you make sure that dimensionally you get the size you want in the final product after the firing, since they tend to shrink? Do you make everything a certain dimension bigger, or is it normally just guess work
Very cool 😊 how much do you sell the small jars for? 😊
fancy fish food jars

Theoretically it should work similarly since burning it also consumes oxygen in the air, as opposed to the resistive Heat from Electric kilns. Making Reduction Firing possible.
I'm sure there's specifics that are very different tho,
what would happend if you let it cool down till 260c and open the pluges or let it just crash down fast
just curious- are those temperature spikes that line the top of the kiln recoverable in any way, say by hanging them inverted during a firing, or are they just a sunk cost? always a pleasure to be welcomed into your process, thank you for sharing

Why was the kiln shelf painted? Sorry if it's obvious 😊
It is a kaolin formula, emulsion. It is used to prevent the shelf from damage. When a glaze drops it won't stick to shelf that easily, and there are chances it could be removed (although still it is hard, depends how big/small is the drop or point of contact with glazed pot)
Or maybe it was water- to clean
If you glaze fire a pot without glaze, will it still be as strong as one with glaze or does the glaze help to strengthen the pots?
From watching other videos, it might not change much from the electric firing. The thing that would have changed would be the iron bits in the clay melting. So probably not much change.
Also from a cost perspective, could not be worth doing

Flappy flappy ears!! Good doggie! 🥰
He thinks he can do BETTER. omg.
