LIDS AND COVERS

Lids and covers might seem to be the simplest part of the pots for which they are made. Nothing could be further from the truth! They are perhaps the most demanding and frustrating of the pot’s details to deal with, and, once again, they quickly show the degree of skill the potter may have.

First, lids should fit properly. Second, each lid should be carefully related proportionately to the pot that carries it. Third, a lid should seem to belong to that piece by the extending fluidity of the line from the base through to the top, so that it doesn’t look as incongruous as either an undersized hat on an elephant, or, alternatively, an oversized hat on a mouse. There are, of course, times when an extra-small or extralarge lid might be desirable for the form being made, usually for special effect or aesthetic concern. Fourth, a lid should fulfill the intended function; select the lid type that is most suitable for a specific use.
