Comment

In working terra cotta, the potter has found essential help in that machine which is commonly referred to as a wheel lathe. The man sits on the wooden bench, with his foot he gives movement to the wheel and with his skilled hands he is shaping the vase that comes out like a flower from his creative spirit.
