<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 354970, member: 7360&quot;]Thanks for this, say_it_slowly!&nbsp; Yes, I think there is a distinct advantage to the potter, to be able to leave the unglazed circle, but I would have thought that it was a disadvantage to the customer.&nbsp; Maybe it cut down on wastage so much that the wares were cheaper, and the Asian market liked cheaper bowls.&nbsp; Or perhaps the bowls kept the contents cooler because they were more permeable to water - maybe they could have been stood in a tray of water, and have it evaporate.&nbsp; With my bowl, I would think that the unglazed circle would be off-putting to a modern customer - apart from me, of course! - so I am really puzzled as to when it was made, and for whom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
