Just to be different I like the texturing, colour etc but not keen on the shape. I would prefer a curve to the bottom of the vessel instead of a straight line. We are all different LOL.

Derek,

I'm going to be different again. The shape is a bit severe on the lower part, but nothing I've not seen done in ceramics. But it's the lower undecorated part that looks wrong.

At first I thought 'if he'd masked that area off and left it as wood', but not sure that is the answer unless it is a dark wood you've used.

To me the top decoration and colour looks like a thunderstorm (yeah, I know, I'm weird), so I want the bottom to be the falling rain. That's what I see, but don't ask me how I'd achieve it.

So I'll just say, that's the best looking Pink I've ever seen.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!
