Nonsense Rascal
Vendors sell dirt. We're hard pressed to get good information about supremely technological things in this day....and these vendors sell dirt. We shouldn't expect good information from a dirt slanger. Don't.
Frost Proof doesn't always equal Vitrified and Vitrified doesn't always equal Frost Proof.
The only cone 6 Standard Clays I'd use to ensure a Frost Proof pot if fired and shaped correctly are , 547, 365, and 710 cuz it IS certainly beyond superior to 266 for our purposes. Not that others wouldn't work, just feels a waste of time to test it.
The Manganese in 266, 710, and the speckles in 112 can prove life altering.

I've been seeing Stone Monkey post a lot of these recently. Inspired?
I love Stone Monkey! His finishes are so clean and I particularly like his drum pots, but I have not seen him do bridges (yet). There's a shohin at the National Bonsai Museum in a bridge pot (though it's an oval as I recall). I was playing with shapes, cutting out templates and it was partly from that pot and partly the visual of a foot bridge from a traditional Japanese garden.

You should check out his Instagram. His posts have basically been 50% bridges, or fans as he says, for the past couple week.

Your glaze choices on these carved pots are spot on, love 'em. Are you mixing your own? If that's a shino, are you firing with gas? Great stuff. I'm experimenting with texture myself at the moment.
Thank you. I'm a student at a local place and primarily using all of their materials (I've tested a couple of outside cone 6 glazes). I'm very lucky that they have a nice gas kiln and array of cone 10 glaze choices. Almost everything I've shown here was cone 10/gas fired.
Future goals: wood firing.

These pots are nice and you clearly have some skills at this! In my opinion the real test comes when you try to make a refined container with a traditional design. Let’s see a rectangle! 
Thank you. I'm not sure I want to reproduce classic/traditional styles? Other people are doing them and better than I will. Plus I'm not sure I want to put rims on potsThese pots are nice and you clearly have some skills at this!

Instead here's a new form for a square that I was playing with. It has a fake rim ;D

Great glaze, working well on that pot. I am looking forward to that feeling when a pot and a glaze come together! I hope you can repeat it
Very nice! And it's not even purple
