Accidents Happen...

Pottery is fragile - even more so before it is glazed.

I was in the process of glazing... One of my plates was drying on the counter when another potter accidentally dropped her bowl on it, shattering it in pieces.

Don't worry about it, I told her. I'll just make another...

But she insisted on giving me one of her newly completed mugs...

So nice of her!

I'll think of her every time I use it.
