<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rclinftl, post: 9502830, member: 78249&quot;]according to everything I know and have read fat lava gained it&#039;s name not from the eruptions in the glaze but the thickness of the glaze (fat/thick) - I did a word search on eBay for fat lava sold highest price first and there are as many non-eruption glazes that sold for good money as there are for eruption glazes... a lot of non-eruption drip glazes pieces do well and are desirable - basically in my eyes fat lava is mid-century german pottery with thick glazes.... I also think sometimes this board gets a little technical - terms vary according to regions - I live in south florida but originally from the mid-atlantic - I sold antiques in that area for over 25 years and we always refered to signatures on glass pottery and such as hallmarks - unless etched (like waterford for example) which was then called a watermark) while a lot of definitions reserved &quot;hallmark&quot; pertaining to just precious metals in actuality that is not really correct - most definitions for hallmark are as follows: noun:</p><p>a mark on an article of trade to indicate its origin and authenticity.</p><p>I&#039;m not sure it&#039;s supposed to be a pissing contest but it often feels like some of the users here feel the need to trump every single thing they can pounce on - it actually makes me uncomfortable at times[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
