One of the highly skilled employees who produce the plaster molds used in the manufacture of architectural terracotta and garden ware.
The tools and craftsmanship are largely unchanged in the past 100 years.
I don't know what posessed these people to do this to the inside of the house. A fake stucco tudor look. The ceilings in the entry are 17' and the walls are all coming out to be replaced with something solid and smooth.
like the paper towel print, you paint the spots, then paint the teapot over the spots, then cast the plate.
I made a mould from clay and acetate, I imprinted string into the clay which got the effect on the left. I ripped the string through the clay to achieve this torn effect on the right. I poured plaster in to create these pieces. I placed the mould in sand to get the texture at the top.

Anton Karas - "The Third Man" Theme
Really surprised that this came out; the 'seed' bits incredibly delicate (plaster not the best thing to cast it with; not strong enough)
Mold can be seen all over the paintings. Likely it comes from the paints and plaster used for decoration. It is the chief reason a replica is being made near Howard Carter's house (to cut down on the humidity from the many visitors each year).
North wall
The three scenes on this wall begin on the right and move left toward the west.
Ay, the king who would follow Tutankhamun as Pharaoh, wears the blue crown and leopard skin (of the setem priest). He performs the opening of the mouth ceremony for Tutankhamun who is dressed as Osiris. Typically this was a son performing this rite for his deceased father. However, Ay was likely an uncle. Tutankhamun's children appear to be buried with him (photos to follow).
In the middle scene, Tutankhamun is now king again and is welcomed into the realm of the gods by Nut, the goddess associated with the sky.
The final scene (furthest left), Tutankhamun wears the nemes headgear, followed by his ka (life force) and is embraced by Osiris in the underworld.
NOTICE: The crack of the lid occurred in antiquity. The lifting of this lid by Carter's team was difficult as they didn't want it to come crashing back down. They used angle irons under its long edges and differential pulleys so it could all be lifted at the same time. In the end, they were successful.
California artist James Turrell has created a "Skyspace" for the museum’s Barbro Osher Sculpture Garden. Three Gems, Turrell’s first “Skyspace” in the form of a stupa or dome, is built into a hill within the garden and features a view of the sky altered by lighting effects that will change with light and weather conditions outside.
