From the kiln log

Loaded on Wednesday night, 64 pieces on five shelves. Switched on Thursday at 05:30 and reached 1,280 °C just after 17:00. We held it for twenty minutes and let Dona Rosa cool through Friday.

We opened her on Saturday 3 October at 07:00. The top shelf ran a little hot: the Ash White on the cups broke paler than usual over the throwing lines, which we like. Two plates on the bottom shelf cracked and went into the reclaim bucket.

Five pieces came out as seconds and sold in the first Friday listing.
