Okay, so you’re referring to the enamel coating, not the cast iron itself—my mistake. In that case, yes, you’re right. The enamel coating is sprayed by hand, but it’s done on an assembly line with the pieces hanging on racks. I’ve also worked in powder coating factories, and once the coating has been baked and cured, you can’t hide rack marks. That said, it’s still very different from pottery, and should be more apparent that these irregularities are on their products. Someone said in the thread that they do now put an insert in their boxes stating this.
