Twisted spouts and finished pike bowl

So the pike bowl has some minor pin holing on the interior glaze, but otherwise it's a nice piece!

Yesterday I asked The Google why my turtle teapot spout twisted, and it replied that spouts always twist. I did not know that. Apparently, mine will always twist clockwise to varying degrees since I turn the wheel counter-clockwise when I throw. The solution is to cut the spout crooked to correct for the eventual twist. I'll have to try that on turtle teapot number 2 (coming soon).

    Fascinating! Kind of like when you have to correct for a hook in golf! And I just love the pike bowl.
