A chess king, roughly 6 inches tall, that my late husband modeled (on a thrown base) from clay we dug ourselves at a disused kaolin mine. The set was never completed, but it would have been a sight to behold! And sort of appropriate following the woven periodic table, as Jim would have used a few elements to glaze it.
