She created an under-glaze and over-glaze kiln. i like this piece because of how the fish come out and have Japanese inspired theme. i also like how the bottom looks like its marble and how she changed the shades of green throughout the piece. you can also see how detailed the fish came out and i believe how the dragon wraps around the whole base.

I like this piece due to the stacking and different colors used.
