HR Spilled Slip Bucket

My Hagen Renaker Collectors Club Annual arrived today, and when I saw the pudgy mailer, my hopes rose. Had I won one of the coveted Spilled Slip Buckets?

 Indeed I had!

Ed Alcorn had donated a bunch of factory milk bucket seconds to HR Tennessee which Kristina glazed to look like the slip buckets she uses for HR Tennessee.

 After firing, only sixty-five came out well, and to those she added little metal handles with a tiny bead to simulate the handle. (These had all been glazed before and had color errors and other issues so they were considered seconds.)

On the underside is written "HR TN 2018" and a tiny ink stamp of the HR Tennessee logo.

Kristina sent out some collectibility information about the Spilled Slip Bucket. She said that sixty-five were made with one being given to Sue Nikas, one being saved for the HR Tennessee archives, and the rest sent out randomly to HRCC members. There are handle-less seconds with weird glaze flaws and those will be handed out as door prizes at this coming July's Fellowship.

Thank you so much, Kristina and crew! I love my latest piece from HR Tennesse!
