~ The Making of Saucy ~

There are lots of cool stories about the making of Saucy. Once I  have one suitable for publishing, it'll be here.


~ Saucy Variations (Including Tests) ~

If you own any tests or variations, I would be thrilled to add them to this collection.

Saucy was the very first  fired horse-shaped-object that the Pottery produced.
Many test pieces were made in this new medium, both for colors and glazes. One of the reasons that  so many tests were made was that the pottery was still experimenting with  the slip being used, and hadn't quite gotten it down to the right standard.
There was a large batch of tests that were involved in the Great Kristina Quake of '95 or '96, which is why many of them below have broken limbs.  

Here is a black Saucy with blue and gray ribbons.
You can probably see why Pour Horse hasn't made more pieces in this color.
This was also before it was discovered that adding a warm brown color to the black would give a warmer (not so green) black.

Saucy in Buckskin
Here's a buckskin beauty with blue and white ribbons.

Here is a test saucy with a satin glaze and a light blue mane.
The glaze turned out very milky, and it "pastelled" out the colors. Satin glazes weren't tried again for a very long time.



Chestnut Saucy with purple and blue ribbons. I don't know if this is just a color variation, or what. That's why Joanie need to tell me what they are.

A gray Saucy with blue and black ribbons.


Kristina cold-painted this one
Kristina cold-painted this Saucy, and is one of the few samples Joan owns of her non-glazed work.

Palomino Saucy Test with blue and green ribbons. It might be a chestnut, I don't really know.



I hope this is an early Saucy showing the primitive shading technique which Joanie quickly evolved away from. Her ribbons appear to be blue and blue.

Another example of an early PH piece.

To be honest, this one defies my explanation, and requires Joan.


4 glazes in one!
In order to save bodies for actual sale, it was decided to glaze this horse with 4 different galzes.
