Hossein took us to meet the glazer who puts the glaze on the prepared pottery and then bakes it in a kiln before selling it to the public. The glazer/potter brought our lunch from his home - homemade bread, yogurt, and sabzi (various raw greens). We ate with our fingers, sitting on the floor of his workshop. He brought his little daughter Narges who was not at all shy. http://www.photoshelter.com/mem/images/#/l/G0000YmlbTddL96g/I0000p9u8CPVMhrI/ And the next several photos. Unfortunately, the glaze for the pottery includes lead so it can't be used for cooking or serving food. We bought a couple of decorative pieces.
