1 December 2018 - Difference in size at the same model number
question Note: Because the one type of clay shrinks more than the other, there may be a small difference. However no 5 cm.
answer Hugo and Marius When casting with the same clay vases are always the same size. When turning by hand one vase could be larger than the other. If it is turned by hand, you can see a hand spiral on the inside and bottom. If the vase is casted you can see inside some accumulated of clay on the bottom, just as the left-over in an empty yogurt bottle.
note
OK then the unusual shape of the K40 is a casted imitation who was manufactured only for short time (like other forms of us) by the factory of Hans Montagne. His factory was located in Nieuwkoop under the name "Gemovers". He is gone bankrupt and we have acquired the factory about 2 years ago. Currently, we are automate the factory.
