Any manufacturing of pottery is just crap. They even said in the video"to give it that handmade pottery look" when they were doing the banding on the inside. Don't try to manufacture handmade pottery. If you are going to manufacture do an industrial manufactured style. Atleast that's original. All that crap looked stale. Once again someone trying to make money cutting out the small guy and doing it poorly.

After Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff sold off the pottery division in 2005-2006, everything was moved out of York, and Thomasville by Lifetime Brands. Even the retail stores were closed. A very sad day indeed.
