Raising a glass

offcntrI've been doing tumblers for about a year now, basically cylindrical glasses based on my tall mugs, but without the handle. They seem to be popular enough, but I'm not sure I like the form. Maybe my hands are getting creaky with age, but they just don't seem comfortable to grasp.
So I've been experimenting with a different shape, narrower at the bottom, not unlike a pilsner glass. I've made a couple for my own use so far. This time, I'm making half a dozen to see if I can throw them consistently, and to see how my glaze patterns fit, as the taper is just about the opposite of my regular painted mugs.
