That means that the stripes have been applied by hand - off the wheel. For me this is an amazing feat of engineering - I mean, look how exact the stripes are in relation to each other - and the fact that they have been spaced out exactly so to fit around the pot equi-distant!!</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I can gather, the stripes have been applied using the tape resist process ... WOW!</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, you can tell I am in love with it ... but what is its name? I mean - who made it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it European? The stripes are of a volcanic type glaze - the Germans like their &quot;fat lava&quot; ... and I only have to look at another German pot (by Monika Maetzel) to see the &#039;German&#039; attitude to precision.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or is it Scandinavian ... like Ursula Scheid (oh, yes please!! ... I know - its not one of hers!!).</p><p><br /></p><p>So, can anyone give me a clue? Thanks for looking at this ... à plus![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
