<p>[QUOTE="msgood2shoe, post: 358526, member: 69"]The reason Bronwen is asking about the inside of the drain hole in the bottom being glazed is because, in general, when a hole is put in a piece at the factory, it is done before it is fired. Consequently, glaze often drips through the hole, and it has a relatively smooth finish to the edges. If it is drilled in after it is fired, the inside of the hole looks sanded and there is no glaze at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>The overall shape says planter to me. IMHO, the hole was most likely done at the factory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
