This coarser weave mesh proved a greater challenge, as the spaces partly filled with enamel.

This is a simple cylinder of mesh with a wire sewn seam and flat base.

It took about 7 firings before this vessel was fully watertight.

Blue and orange enamel was applied alternatively, and the final holes filled with white enamel
