Where have all the potteries gone,long time passing
Given freshly fired and glazed presents is like being given delicious food.; or at least something to put it on. Visiting a potter always meant being given something lovely, even if it was a second. How would a child know anyway. Only later, on closer inspection, would the glaze not meet the edge or the wobble become a bit annoying. A painter or writer did not impart gifts, not ready, not worthy, cash only, no cheques. Potters are natural givers and understand the earthiness and messiness of children; give the child a plate and order is restored
