New birdbath in progress

It's 16 inches in diameter, but will shrink to about 14 inches after it dries and fires. I use an old stoneware birdbath top as my platter mold, and I stretch an old T-shirt over it to help remove the piece when it's dry enough (I learned that from lining my pan with foil when baking brownies).

I'm going to paint goldfish in the center, and the rest will be glazed in my usual way. I hope I'll be able to find the style of birdbath stand that I like. So far, I haven't had success.
