well if made the choice between an American who spent 4yrs in Holland and my Dad who bought one in a craft shop in Greece I still go for Greek

I bought my pair of Kamini vases in Germany... One question is still open, if it is from Greece, why don't they use greek letters?

Because it's for exporting , that's why german pots have "MADE IN "on them also

The reason for Made in Germany is the follow: The label was originally introduced in Britain by the Merchandise Marks Act 1887, to mark foreign produce more obviously, as British society considered foreign produce to be inferior to domestic produce, and tried to get buyers to adhere to the concept of 'buying British'. (Quoted from Wikipedia)

... and if they use latin letters for the export, it would only make sense if they add where it came from. On the other hand, if they would use Greek letters everyone would know that it is made in Greece.

So , as I have said it was for exporting , also not just labels ,it was impressed in germany also .

even if it was sold in Greece the name could be written in a way that tourists could recognise and pronounce -good business practice

exactly

I just looked them up at that address on Yell.com

Zilch

ebay has come up with the proof,Greece it is
