"Sufferin' succotash!", sez I.
Hey Steve,
So I've got this image of the gaffer, punty rod in hand, clamping the top of the blown vessel and twisting or twirling... Have I got that right so far?
Then this noodle makin image starts to come in
and I get all confused with the large arm movements...
Is Pitkinish pitcher makin done on a table at all? Where does the
come in? After the T-shirt is applied, right?
I'm guessing that it is then trimmed and reheated, and then the spout is formed, but I'm already lost somewhere back there in the barber poling. Does that light tunneling handle then get applied after another reheating, or is it appllied to the slowly cooling pitcher from a third gather?
Where's Captain Pitkin when you need him to explain hisself? Will you please stand in for him, Steve?
It is then that the gaffer begins the twirling and the barber shop pole look effect takes hold.The line you see horizontily across the bottle is the line of demarkation of the second gather.The line is under the glass not on top of the swirls.The best way to describe the look is the bottle appears as if it is wearing a tee shirt.
