Glazing and firing of each piece is very important.
The electric kiln gives my functional ware their deep blues with hints of green and gold. I also fire both functional ware and decorative pieces in a wood burning kiln to cone 10-11, rediscovering celadons and shinos of the old masters. My relief and carved decoration lends itself well to both types of firing.
More recently I've begun exploring the ancient firing techniques of Raku and Smoke Firing.
