  @dais88734 This bottle is decorative. If it were functional i would throw it in one piece or close the form and ad a small ring and throw the neck, smoothing the inside as I form the neck.

  @credenza1 a sharpened stick is a traditional tool but I use it because a metal tool tends to slice away the clay too much a wooden one drags a little which gives a better texture. Shoji Hamada used a knife to facet pots but he said it had to be a very old rusty one.
