I recently purchased a Stan Anderson cup with a thrown foot ring. I tried my hand at this and was happy with the resulting cups.
I like the tall foot and the unique statement it gives to the pots. It's a different feeling from a cut foot ring: having a softer feeling to it. I like also that it has the opportunity to carry some throwing marks and carry on the feeling of the rim of the pot if you choose.
So I moved on to some bowls. Here's a clip showing how it's done.

And a slipped bowl ready to be decorated.
I've decided to slip the outside of these leaving the rim and foot ring bare to show the red clay. The interior will get some deco as well as the exterior.
