Could the DA vase be made this way?

Don't know much about printing with clay, but you could make it with a makerbot in plastic, size withstanding.

I wonder
what Koen De Winter, our resident ceramics expert, would say about the use of printers in "assembling" clay for kiln firing. Is there any intrinsic reason why the method wouldn't work successfully ? The clay would have to be wet enough to bond to itself as successive tiers of material are laid on; the photo of the hollow pyramid shows what looks like a perfectly smooth outer surface . . .
