For those wondering, cut wedging 23 times produces 8,388,608 (2²³) layers. Assuming the block is about 28cm tall (by guesstimating Florian's span to be roughly 20cm) that means every layer is around 33nm tall, which corresponds to somewhere around 20 molecules of clay. I'd say that was mixed enough
Another relaxing Sunday afternoon pottery video from Florian. Add a bit of burnished gold paint and you can flog them at the local market as replica 'Holy-Grails'.
Stemmed bowl sounds very accurate. They are so beautiful, and each one has a different story to tell. Stemmed bowls or (Goblets) do have a ceremonial use to them. They were used to drink wine out of.
I really love seeing the cleaning up, sponging down the tables to keep them free from leftover clay. it's very methodic 💜💜💜💜💜💜 thank you for making videos
these would be good for charcuterie boards as the stem is smaller than the width of the bowl, and adds some nice height/dyanamic nature. i think they would be nice to have as a set of 3 with 3 different heights but the same size bowl. could also be good just for decoration that way.
You mentioned one time how pottery was most fun at the learning stage. Challenging yourself is how you keep that spark of enjoyment. Otherwise it's just repeating what you already know. Really, it doesn't matter what these shapes resemble. That was never the purpose of making them.
There is something about the shortest one that fits in the hand nicely. I’ve hand-built forms like this with my middle school kids using Craig Russell’s Flat Cone Template Calculator. The templates are challenging to draw at first for kids but allow some amazing forms. Throwing and trimming these in one piece though! Thank you for continuing to sharing your process.
Beautiful work as always! And super interesting to see you work with such a relatively unconventional shape. Seeing them all together at the end was super interesting as well - how they're all clearly similar to each other, but also distinctly different, and how the proportions and visually top-heavy shape plays out across various stem heights and bowl shapes. Absolutely lovely, and as always, super inspiring!
Well done. You have really made me want one of these bowls. I would put a handful of our local Oregon strawberries in it--they are tiny, soft, deep red, and full of juicy flavor. Perhaps a bit of cream and a delicate spoon for a perfect little moment of rest.
The far left from my point of view in the line up is my favorite stem and the next one over that has the step in the side of the bowl is my favorite bowl. Combine the two and you have a great look. But overall they all look great. I like the varying combinations of them so you won’t go wrong if you just use combinations of them all in sets. :)
I think these would be great as soap bowls. I always burn my fingers on my bowls whenever I have soup, The stem would come in handy for carrying around!
This is very timely as I spent my last session in the studio throwing a large stemmed bowl in two pieces. It's the size of a fruit bowl so quite a bit larger than yours but all of these tips you mention here will help me with the next ones I make. I am interested in making some smaller ones with very tall stems to put on my mantle. I've always found it very hard to trim inside a cylinder as you have here but I think I'm ready to give it a go after this video. Do you ever have trouble with the bowl tilting during firing?
I'm sure there is going to be someone that thinks that the elegance of the tallest taper is an upside-down rose vase. I could see these tall small bowls as something to delightfully serve a delicate scooped desert. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
I never would’ve thought the reason you hollowed out the stem was to make it all dry uniformly 😧 that makes a lot of sense, but it definitely added a lot of complexity to pottery in my mind. As a leatherworker, I know there are lots of little things like that that need to be done or not done during a project or else your piece comes out sub par at best. It’s cool seeing that from a different craft!
But what at is a goblet really, if not just a bowl on top of a really tall foot that you fill with liquid? Soup is liquid and I'd definitely eat a goblet, I mean tall bowl, full of soup.
Interesting shapes, like the shortest one as it reminds me of a ramen bowl I have seen. As for the tall ones.... those odd dishes made to present hard boiled/stuffed eggs come to mind. Will be very interesting to see how these take the glaze.
2nd from the left in that last shot where you are covering them... As ever, most enjoyable and elucidating. Though you highlight each step, I shudder to think about the mess I would be left with were I to explore the process!
I don't know what your influence for these is, but i will say that they remind me of ancient style of bowls made during the Neolithic in Europe, although those were made large like ceramic cauldrons, and probably used as cauldrons with the pots long foot able to sit either directly in the ashes and coals, or resting on rocks set in the middle of the fire. Its also possible the fire may have been built around the bottom to begin with or perhaps they couldn't handle all that, and they were simply tall to make serving easier while they were warmed aside of or near the fire.
Would be an awesome functional set, with different heights and little lids. Different heights would allow one to maximise table or worktop space. Could could used for salt, pepper and butter for example.
They look like perfect ice cream sundae bowls to me! The tall stems reduce the distance from the bowl to my mouth, reducing the chance for drippage. 😂🍨
At first sight I thought they would not be functional me but when you mentioned ice cream bowl ,I imagined holding the bowl like a cone and spooning with the other hand .Would be fun to use.
These are some nice chalices! All jokes aside i can myself eating candy or maybe some popcorn from them if my table is just a bit too small (Or using the foot to keep it stable when i'm lazy on the sofa)
I really like these shapes but I feel like with something that tall I would almost definitely knock it over if I tried to eat anything in there. aren't they kind of top-heavy?
do you think it'd be worth it to mark the center of your bats? tap centering does just get you there for trimming's sake but if you have to move a bat after you put a pot on it and it's off balance it could fall over
Every time I see you wedging clay, I notice that the ?plywood? work table just seems to be bare, unsealed. You're also always shown washing it down afterwards, but does it really not absorb enough of the ironware clay to taint the porcelain?
To be honest, the left side of the table is much less stained than the right! So, once thoroughly washed, I wedge most of my porcelain on that end. So far though, I haven't had much contamination, but you are right, it helps to be careful. I suppose I could pin down a sheet of canvas and wedge on that, or find a clean ware board and use a vice to hold it onto the tabletop and wedge on that. Lots of options!
you should name theese "not a goblet, goblet-like pot" i didn't think that i would like this shape in concept and also making, looking forward to seeing theese glazed since it's a small bowl and also a tall one i believe that it would be great for ice cream, since it isn't a drinking vessel
Would you mind if I made something similar for a college production project? They are so interesting and look really fun to make, but I don't know if you're okay with people replicating your work. I wouldn't sell them they would just be for me.
While it's thoughtful of you to ask permission, you really don't need to ask if you can replicate a similarly shaped pot. Especially if you're not doing it for commercial use. No shade towards the artist but if someone gets mad because you made a similar pot to them literally all they can do is be a little mad about it. Lol it's another story if you were intentionally making replicas maker's mark and all and trying to sell them as if they were made by someone else.
@RMacca I do get it and definitely agree with you, but I'd feel bad if my favorite artist doesn't approve of me replicating their work for my studies, you know? If I could come up with a way to make it my own, I would, but since it's a relatively simple form, it would be hard to change to my own voice. I've done some workshops with a few artists who would make us throw out our work since it was just a copy of theirs, and i don't agree with that but want to respect them.

r/theydidthemath
I'm so glad I saw your comment because I was wondering how many layers that must have added up to😂
Im sorry, i only accept pottery made with 10,000,000 or more layers, what are we? barbarians? (wink)
what wonderful ash trays
Now we're talking!
Until you knock it over 😅
I was thinking candy dish
@@kimgage4354ooo I love that
a pale friend of mine who lives in an abandoned mansion and sleeps in a coffin has taken interest in these new “stemmed bowls”
These are a better shape for dessert than for drinks, in my opinion. Like panna cotta or chocolate mousse.
AGREE
They are BOWLS!!!
"Just a quick blast to take the edge off"
[awkward stares]
"... with the heat gun"
[sighs of relief]
xD
I love the non goblet/ ice cream bowl/small trailing plant cache pot. The first one on your right is my favorite.
Yep, definitely, Florian, these are fabulous chalices.

I love HOW you explain everything you are doing , as you are doing it. Thank you
You're such a great teacher. I love listening to your explanations.
ok not goblets.... but the holy grail from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?
Not exactly a carpenter's cup though, being clay an' all.
@@jonathanj8303 Wasn't it a ceramic pot in the movie? The carpenter point was about the expense, I think, not the material.
@@zweigackroyd7301 You may well be correct, I remember the line, but not the rest of the detail.
These are very sweet shapes. I think I like the more narrow tapering foot that you trimmed at the end. I like looking at them. Thank you.

Very pretty pots, keep up the good work!
I love these - very nice adventure in forms!
What a wonderful set, ideal for special gifts etc great Florian 😊👍
Damn, those are some really cool G̶o̶b̶l̶e̶t̶s̶ Stemmed Bowls
Such a lovely modern twist on a candle snuffer!
Such wonderful elavated bowls/ or cups

I love them all, but my favourite is the last one ❤

Beautiful and fascinating. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished ones.
Brilliant content, and beautiful work. Your videos are a joy to watch and relax to. Looking forward to the glazing and firing!
UGH! You stole my idea, with the ice-cream-bowl comment!
haha, just think how picturesque a few scoops of mint chocolate-chip in these would look! 😍😍😍
The far left from my point of view in the line up is my favorite stem and the next one over that has the step in the side of the bowl is my favorite bowl. Combine the two and you have a great look. But overall they all look great. I like the varying combinations of them so you won’t go wrong if you just use combinations of them all in sets. :)
Dominus vobiscum. Love them Florian. You are the man.
I would call it a compote. Looks like fun to make!
…Floblets??
Beautiful bird baths
the hummingbird goblets
Cool goblets
I think these would be great as soap bowls. I always burn my fingers on my bowls whenever I have soup, The stem would come in handy for carrying around!
if these arent goblets then where will i put all these names for students entering the triwizard tournament

Later on... "You choose wrong. That was the raise cup of a mason."

2nd from the left in that last shot where you are covering them...
As ever, most enjoyable and elucidating. Though you highlight each step, I shudder to think about the mess I would be left with were I to explore the process!
Facinating shape, very versatile vessile. I'd like to be able to flip them upside-down and also use the hollowed out stem as a vase for flowers...
From reclaim we come, to reclaim we return :). The trimming of these pots would have a lot more trimmings that most pots.
It’s a bowl and a tumbler all in one. How convenient!
Excellent work! Thanks.
What lovely raised cereal and dessert bowls 😊❤ I wish they were striped....
My pottery teacher shows us a lot of your videos he got me hooked
As a bowl, I enjoy the shortest one the most, but as a sculpture I like the last one the most.
Delightful chalices!
I can't wait to eat my cereal out of these!
I don't know what your influence for these is, but i will say that they remind me of ancient style of bowls made during the Neolithic in Europe, although those were made large like ceramic cauldrons, and probably used as cauldrons with the pots long foot able to sit either directly in the ashes and coals, or resting on rocks set in the middle of the fire. Its also possible the fire may have been built around the bottom to begin with or perhaps they couldn't handle all that, and they were simply tall to make serving easier while they were warmed aside of or near the fire.
I do agree that they would make great bowls for icecream, pudding, jello, and applesauce. Heck I'd even eat oatmeat out of them. Just no cold cereal.
The smaller one reminded me of a japanese stemmed tea or sake cup
I actually like the shortest one the best.
I can just see it with an icecream sundae or a chilled fruit salad.
Would be an awesome functional set, with different heights and little lids. Different heights would allow one to maximise table or worktop space. Could could used for salt, pepper and butter for example.
They look like perfect ice cream sundae bowls to me! The tall stems reduce the distance from the bowl to my mouth, reducing the chance for drippage. 😂🍨
At first sight I thought they would not be functional me but when you mentioned ice cream bowl ,I imagined holding the bowl like a cone and spooning with the other hand .Would be fun to use.
This shape is highly sought after in ikebana. The top needs to be more like a deep dish, then you are golden. The tall feet is very elegant
If these are not goblet maybe they are bowlets. I'm bing watching your videos and loving them. God bless you
I know the grail when I see it.
These are wonderfully crafted Goblets. Harry Potter would be proud.
These are some nice chalices!
All jokes aside i can myself eating candy or maybe some popcorn from them if my table is just a bit too small
(Or using the foot to keep it stable when i'm lazy on the sofa)
What amazing Boblets!
Honestly, it doesn’t much matter to me what they’re called… but if I owned one, I would absolutely be drinking out of it. Likely exclusively.
Im with you, the last "Not Goblet" is my favorite
Florian do you ever wear a mask to protect against clay dust, or do you just clean the workshop thoroughly? Love the channel x
Obviously these aren't goblets. They're chalices.
Cool video and pretty high pots! I have qestion, what clay do you use? From where it specialy, like whitch country
I really like these shapes but I feel like with something that tall I would almost definitely knock it over if I tried to eat anything in there. aren't they kind of top-heavy?
Use extra chocolate sauce to weigh the ice cream down.
It's the cup of a carpenter.
do you think it'd be worth it to mark the center of your bats? tap centering does just get you there for trimming's sake but if you have to move a bat after you put a pot on it and it's off balance it could fall over
I think they could work as vases if you turn them upside down.
oh look, goblets!
nice goblets! :)
Every time I see you wedging clay, I notice that the ?plywood? work table just seems to be bare, unsealed. You're also always shown washing it down afterwards, but does it really not absorb enough of the ironware clay to taint the porcelain?

I suppose I could pin down a sheet of canvas and wedge on that, or find a clean ware board and use a vice to hold it onto the tabletop and wedge on that. Lots of options!
I do that with a LED Head light!!!
How does hollowing out the stem effect centre of balance? Without a weighty bottom isn't it more likely to wobble over?
Thank you for the inspiration... but what is an hpl bat?
High pressure laminate! Sorry, yes, I should have gone into more detail!
In the short, I couldn't tell which end was the top, so I thought they were supposed to be used foot side up, as bud vases!
"And if I see a single comment calling these goblets, I'll be FURIOUS," Florian said, calmly.
When will those goblets show up in your store? Ther're very well made!!
you should name theese "not a goblet, goblet-like pot"
i didn't think that i would like this shape in concept and also making, looking forward to seeing theese glazed
since it's a small bowl and also a tall one i believe that it would be great for ice cream, since it isn't a drinking vessel
They look reminiscent of latte stones from some of the Pacific Islands.
can i buy these goblets
I see you're entering the pimp cup buisness. Strategic move Florian😉
Well, I don’t think I’ll be demonstrating this in my beginners class.
These are beautiful but they give me anxiety 😂
I've never thought about this, but using so much water must dry your hands rather quickly. Is that true? Do you need to moisturize them on the daily?
the cup of a potter. only the penitent man will pass. florian chose wisely
Why not goblets?
I'd use them upside down and put a posey of flowers in.
Would you mind if I made something similar for a college production project? They are so interesting and look really fun to make, but I don't know if you're okay with people replicating your work. I wouldn't sell them they would just be for me.

Would it be too much to call them 'grails' instead of 'goblets'?
But which of these bowls is the real holy grail?
Thought that was an April fools video first. Pleasently surprised, it's not.
