<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 333855, member: 90&quot;]The terms “hand decorated” and “hand made” came in to use at the end of World War II and was popular usage in the 1950’s. The words were used to spur consumer buying. It infers that objects made by hand were superior or more valuable&nbsp; than objects decorated by machines. This is not the case but it helped to stimulate the economy and sell European and Asian products to the U.S. market in the shadow of a devastating&nbsp; war.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
