No. I take a lump of wet clay, throw it on a wheel, center it, drop a hole, pull out the sides, raise the walls and shape it. Then I let it dry very slowly (so as not to crack) in a damp-box (an old refridgerator that I built shelves into). Once it is leather-hard, I carve it a little and/or put colored slip on it, and flip it over and put a foot on the base (and put a hole in the bottom for the watter to come out). Then I fire it. Then I glaze it. Then I fire it again.
ta DA! From shapless mound of dirt, to cactus condo!
I do mugs too, but all my best ones I gave to my friends, so I can't post pix of them.
...in other words, I make them from scratch.
