HANDBLOWN POTS! THAT’S A NEW ONE

So a garden store is selling Windsor Castle’s “handblown clay pots” (“Verbatim,” Palm Latitudes, Feb 7). Whooo, there’s a lost art! I would have loved to have seen those potters at work. I’ve seen handblown glass and hand-thrown clay pots but never handblown clay pots. Maybe someone will revive the craft for the Renaissance Faire.

Editor’s Note: Gary Jones of the Pasadena garden store HORTUS assures us that the British refer to the process as handblown.
