<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 255277, member: 90&quot;]Terracotta is not a lightweight clay as you suggest. Terracotta, in comparison to the industrial white clays used in mass production, is rough and more dense. It must be worked entirely by hand, as modern machines would be damaged by its demanding composition. This means that the terracotta must be hand worked into the molds and when the clay is dry it must be removed from the molds by hand. This process limits production to a fraction of that created by industrial clays using machinery. </p><p>Thus, pieces made with terra-cotta tend to be made by artists with limited capacity. That it what you have here. Most likely this was made in a small family-owned studio rather than an international factory like Bitossi.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
