Re: Kamini Greece
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
Re: Kamini Greece
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?
Re: Kamini Greece
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.
Re: Kamini Greece
So , as I have said it was for exporting , also not just labels ,it was impressed in germany also .

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

Re: Kamini Greece
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)

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

Re: Kamini 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

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