yes,all handthrown pottery is of course unique but Atlantis has a shape number,this is A6 so the A is Atlantis,6 is the pebble shape then there is a / followed by 1
1 signifies the size ,1 being the smallest

Yes , that's my point if it has a shape number then it's moulded surely ,

by **dantheman** on Sat Oct 31, 2009 8:50 pm

no,the shape numbers were introduced to make re-ordering easy for the retailers

Ok , i 'll try a different tack , the piece you have was it handmade?, I am only trying to seperate studio pieces from moulded ( nothing against moulds at all Shoji Hamadfa did it )

Ok , i get the message , does sound like a really tedious job though , don't you think.

there was a mix of monotony with creativity but being surrounded by dozens of pretty young girls made it a lot less boring apparently

Hi anyone have any Poole pottery decorated by Donna Brogan, as she is my wife and am interested in buying pieces by her for her birthday. If anyone can help that will be great
