Bummed about the fish cups

The glazing didn't work out quite right on these cups... The glaze is called "Light Green Shino," and it should appear pale green where it's thick, and reddish brown where it's thin. The saucer on the upper right is perfect! But the cups are a uniform brown color because I didn't get the glaze thick enough.

I'm going to try applying more glaze and re-firing the cups. It's a risky move and may wreck them... We'll see. I can always make more, but it would be really nice if I had some pieces where the throwing, decorating, AND glazing all worked out.
