Juicy feedback: Well maybe just a little damp..............
In October of last year on a trip China visting what seemed like an
endless number of Porcelain Factory tours I saw hands pouuring slip,
turning molds over, removing cast forms, cleaning same, sprigging on
handles, loading bisques, unloading bisques, glazing inside of pots,
glazing outside of pots, stacking kilns for firing. So by the
definition of some the cheap $.35 white mug that resulted is hand made.

My very point! At what point does hand made stop being "hand made"?
