I bought today in a Bologna market a vase with stamped mark "KAMINI GREECE"
summarizing the controversial:
Kamini means kiln in Greek
is a village in Hydra island
often sellers on the web say Scandinavian or Finland pottery
Someone says a German or a Finnish guy works in Greece ( like Germans settlement in Vietri or Italian ICARO in Rodi)

maybe this thread could be moved into the european pottery section, still maybe someone will say it was a Skandi potter working in Greece

Greece modern pottery doesn't replay the glorious age of ancient era
Maybe should be explored
Famous Greek descents:
Joanna Constantinidis Peter Voulkos
local factory studios maybe produce ancient or traditional types for tourists
here a nice report from Mesagros a village in Aegina Island

Interesting stuff as to Homer I have a theory that most stories date back to when we lived in caves before agricuture a lot of time (thousands of years) when we had the same intellectual powers as today and a lot of spare time sitting round the campfire, cinderella in its earliest known form is apparently chinese, love that 'to translate china' idea I was working on a similar idea with Japanese items

The pottery has a registered address in Greece; nothing in Finland. I'll go with Greece.
