'Pottery and fine porcelain
must not quarrel.' — Traditional, Chinese 'You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.' — Thomas Moore, Farewell !–but Whenever you Welcome the Hour 'Ceramus, son of Bacchus and Ariadne, is, for some, the prototype and protector of the potter, and it is thus his name has been given to the ceramic art, a district in Athens assigned to the potters being called Ceramicus. This fable is founded upon the immemorial custom of preserving wine in earthen vessels, and of using cups of the same material to carry the wine to their lips.' — Albert Jacquemart, History of the Ceramic Art 'There is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip.' — Latin |
