I made a horse on special order and it slumped against another pot so they are
glazed together - his front leg to the vase's belly. Is there any way I can
seperate them at least to save the horse! Best, Sue

You can try using a dremel tool with a carbide cutting blade on it - be sure
to wear a mask. Donna

The gods were with me on this one! When I glanced into the kiln and saw the
horse had slumped, I assumed it was stuck to the vase. After things cooled off
enough to actually open the kiln, there was a hair's breadth between the 2
pieces. So the horse could stand on its own and wasn't damaged! Thanks for
your input - my husband also recommended a dremel so I'll keep that under
advisement ;-) Best, Sue

The Dremel is a nerdy little thing for people who are afraid of real
power tools. :-)
I'm glad your horse was OK.

In defense of "little" power tools, let me say that I have both a
Dremel and a die grinder (like a router stuffed into a
Dremel-on-steroids housing). The die grinder is fantastic
for when you really need to remove material (wood, etc), but
it takes 2 hands to use it. The Dremel is much better for
the sort of fine detail work that the OP (might have) needed.
(Regardless, wear eye protection and a respirator.)

Best regards,
