[MR] ot question for craftsmen

[Gina Shelley]

No, it's not a repro pipe (I know what you are talking about, and it's not one of those). It was made by a friend who was learning pottery. The clay she used is very white and very hard. It almost feels like porcelain, but the broken end is rough. And it's glazed with a dull blackish greenish glaze. 

 

It's quite homely, but that's why I love it.  I did think about sanding it down smooth. I may do that. I imagine a dremel would work if I decided to go that route.
