I like the thought and planning that went into the design and then the glazing of this pot. I think the patchy effect on the outside of the pot works well even though the rim base became more blue than you hoped for. Still looks like a good match for your orange mint. We tried some mint in the garden but it didn't come up. We had some seeds that were of "uncertain" provenance lol Expired or free or found in the bottom of a drawer. We planted them all just to see if they would grow. Experiments are the spice of life...like trying a new glaze 😉 btw the glaze on the inside of the pot is interesting. The glaze looks much better on an uneven surface than on the flat surface of the plate. (or with uneven application like you did on the outside of the pot)

Yeah I agree about the uneven glaze looking better. As with gemstone, the ones with imperfections under the surface end up far more interesting and rare.
Mint is ridiculously easy to transplant and propagate from cutting, yet notoriously challenging to grow from seed. Seeds do not stay viable for long, and the young roots need perfect balance of airflow, moisture, and temperature. I would probably try to start them outdoors in summer shade, or in a greenhouse.
If you can ever find some wild mint growing near the sidewalk, rip a few stems off and the neighbor will probably thank you if they even notice. Farmer's markets and plant stores often sell inexpensive starter plants too.
It really isn't even worth the cost of seeds and soil, unless you have a diehard life goal to prove you can do it for yourself. 😪
