dwq Posted June 22, 2017 at 09:50 AM Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 at 09:50 AM Word order should be 壽山鑄造 . Meaning is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius Posted June 22, 2017 at 10:16 AM Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 at 10:16 AM It's worth mentioning that 鑄 means 'cast', as in 'cast iron'. It's the process of melting the metal and pouring it into molds and removing the molds after the metal cools. That's not how pottery is made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
