"Look over there! You'll see girls shaping cups. Cups are shaped from within. Otherwise there's not a lot of difference. Afterall a cup is really only a small plate with it's collar up."
Set in one of Wedgwood's factories, sporting fabulous opening credits. The narrator talks exceptionally quickly, so try to keep up.
"The solemn cool and restful greens and browns of the trees and the gayer pinks and blues of the flowers, the leader of the unindustrious butterfly and the workshop of that selfconcious modelling [said too fast I can't decipher] of the busy bee.There is different colour which is so much part of our countryside which is reflected in all our trades and crafts. Most of all in the art and science of pottery."
"Isn't it nice to see girls putting handles on cups instead of knocking them off."
I can't remember the time I ever knocked a handle off a cup. I remember smashing a whole cup, but nothing more specific.
