Been in the pottery.
He's ok with doing another run. Price would be the same.
As for the colour, well here are the colours he uses below. These colours do vary in the firing so they can come out light to dark.
But !!!! The one he did last time was the easiest one for him colour wise as the wording is the colour of the clay below and the wording is cut away.
If he does other colours he can't do the same. Instead he would paint the wording on. There was another bowl he made as a test sample which I bought and sold on. Unfortunately, I haven't the pictures of it. It was ok but in my opinion not as nice looking as the version we ran with. You can see on the blue jug the decoration which would be similar to the writing style. He may also charge a little more.
This cut away wording is what he and his father are famous for, other things are a little outside of his style. It all sounds a bit limited, but that's just the way he works and how he has been taught.
Here is a link to what is mostly his fathers work. I haven't asked but he may well be able to do the same more honey coloured with the cut away style wording.
