Over 30 years ago, in my college pottery class, I made a chess set to my own design. This week my 3rd son discovered it. He now has the pieces displayed on a shelf, all ready to use when time allows. These are some of them.

The way you photographed those pieces, they look monumental! ;O
Neat, I always wanted to play; bought the sets and the books, but never could think more than one move ahead.
Those are great. Both a wonderful thing to create in your pottery class and they make a beautiful photograph.
Nice pieces, and a fantastic photo! :)
You seem to have cyclops for pawns!

Interesting shapes! They look like the fingers in the front row. Have a blessed weekend!
Ceramics will last for years and still retain their beauty! Your son just discovered a treasure. This made me remember the ceramics chess pieces I made as a satire. They were never made to play chess!
I am so impressed by your design! And I agree - they do look statuesque!
They are great. Take care of them. I love chess but I don´t have anyone to play with.
Wow! Did you make these? Lovely.
Well done and well photographed!!

Intriguing chess pieces! They look so much like some precious treasure from an ancient civilisation! Stun ning!
Where are they beautiful - Well thanks to a game :-)
Very good! Both your creativity in making the chess set and in photographing it!
That's an interesting design. Cool that your son discovered it and wants to use it. I like to photo too!
They are beautiful pieces. So wonderful that they were found by a son so obviously drawn to their shapes.
i always look forward to your black and white contribution. and i always find them interesting and amazing.
Well done! Fantastic photo!
Your son is right! These pieces should be proudly displayed for everyone to see and enjoy, they're beautiful!
Kisses, love!
PS: I sent you a message at your FB, whenever youhave soe time, take a look at my question there.
Wow, your own chess pieces. Fun, will remember that. They look quite big, and it's a nice structure in the ceramics.

Did I understand you correctly? Have you actually made these myself. In this case you are really talented.
Very creative! I just learned how to play chess few months ago! Wonderful!
Nice pieces, very creative! You did a great job with them ... and the photo too!

What a fascinating set. They look huge—but I expect that is simply the macro version.
Fascinating! I like the game and your photography :))
