hand-thrown pottery
Artisan-spun clay vessels
Hand-thrown pottery is ceramic ware shaped by hand on a spinning potter's wheel, as opposed to pieces cast in molds or machine-made.
The term emphasizes the craftsman's direct involvement—the potter centers clay on the wheel and shapes it while it spins.
Hand-thrown pieces often show subtle irregularities that mark them as handmade: She collected hand-thrown pottery from local artisans.
