This cone 10R piece is about 8 inches tall and quite thin-walled. This is L3118J grogged clay with 25% Christy Minerals STKO22S grog. It is not a typical grog having a range of particle sizes, these particles are all close to 20 mesh. Because the base body, mainly Redart and Ball clay, is so fine and plastic, and the grog is only one size, this is not only throwable but resistant enough to splitting that large pieces can be made. The plasticity of the base and the mobility of the grog particles within enables applying pressure with surprisingly less abrasion than expected. And of course, the grog makes it highly resistant to cracking during drying.
