He would then slowly and meticulously press, stretch, and alter the shape, using water and soft repetitive pressure, to pull some portions, curve others, at times he would cut an entire section, for example to create a steady base on which the piece would sit. The end result were pieces that looked like silk pulled up into the air by a soft breeze. Yet the piece was a functional pitcher.
