In a cramped workshop an elderly man in spectacles, a shirt with rolled sleeves and a white apron bends over a potter's wheel and shapes a small vessel between his fingers; around him stand white plaster moulds and rows of cups on shelves, and the lever of the wheel rises beside him. The source names the potter as Bruno Dietrich, 61 years old, making Meissen cups and pressing the form into a mould to give it its raised outer pattern.
