working on tea project final work

I kept working on my final piece due to I’m not that satisfy with the works I made yesterday. None of them have  the open rim like the  tea cups used in Bei Jing tea house. I attempt to recreate another circular cup and then work on it but there are too much water goes into the porcelain while I roll it into a ball form.As a result I wasn’t be able to centre it on the wheel. This experience taught me a lesson that I must keep my hands in clean and dry condition when working with porcelain. After that  I quickly create a basic cup shape  and then I placed two fingers on the top and underneath of the rim, unfortunately I put too much strength on the rim it lost support from the cup starting to fall apart.So I tried another time with thicker cup side instead of focusing too much on the rim I gentlelly move both fingers from the cup side to the rim in even strength at the main while I kept on building the cup side upward.
