For my lidded vessel I made Winnie the Pooh's honey jar. I used a lid where I created little blocks and attached them to the bottom of the lid to secure it in place. I think it is functional, because it's a jar. You could use it to place things in and carry. I hand built this project. I used the same technique I used for my figurative project, but on a larger scale. I created two big pinch pots using a container to mold it. Then I put it together and scraped it around and around to make it even and smooth. Then I cut out a piece to make the lid. Then I used little pasta letters to make bigger letters and painted it with glaze. I really like how this project turned out.
