Re: bent pots

Yep. *The kiln was [glow=red,2,300]CRUEL[/glow] to 'em.

Some Chinese pots are fired in makeshift kilns where the heating is variable and hard to control. *My guess is they slump a bit. * In any case, some people find that interesting.

If the feet aren't quite level you could shim them underneath so they sit flat.

It sounds like your plea for inexpensive pots was answered?

Re: bent pots

I have been trying my hand and making a few pots. They all look the way you describe! LOL. So buy a bunch and tell people they were custom made pots!!
