The modest addition of two short trails applied to the rim of a bowl transforms it visually and functionally. Perhaps the grip handles suggest that passing the vessel from one person to another was more common than we might otherwise suspect. In the video, note how the quick casting-off allows the pincered decoration to commence immediately, while the glass is still soft.
