The Problem Lid

On occasion I have a problem getting a lid to match a pot but this urn was particularly difficult and I'm not sure why. It might be because the shoulders of the urn are high on the body and curve without any neck into the opening . But whatever the reason I made three lids before being (only partly) satisfied. The first lid had no lift and made the urn look like it had been chopped at the forehead. The second lid had too much lift and not enough of a rim, like a bowler hat. And it didn't follow the lines of the urn. Lid number three, though the best of the lot, still is just so-so though I do like the added texture. Lugs on the side and feet cut into the foot ring add more interest. With a good glazing job, it just might turn out to be a "keeper" after all.
