<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 1970727, member: 8267"][USER=13486]@Holzy[/USER] - I would consider [USER=45]@Taupou[/USER] our most knowledgeable contributor here on SW pottery. You might be able to confirm that your pot is made using commercial "greenware" by running your fingers around the inside of the bowl. Greenware is usually made in a 2-piece mold, and the mold line can sometimes be felt on the interior of the piece - there would be 2 slight ridges running top to bottom, on opposite sides of the bowl. Check under the rim, where it would be less visible and more likely to be neglected. (They usually take the time to smooth over the exterior mark.) Absence of a mold line does not guarantee the pot is handmade, however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
