Pottery - MSN Encarta Song-influenced celadons characterize pottery of the Koryŏ (Goryeo) dynasty (918-1392). In the updraft, or bottle, kiln, a wood fire at the mouth of a covered trench fires the pots, which are in a circular-walled chamber at the end of the fire trench; the top is covered except for a hole to let the smoke escape. Sué was another pottery of this period, a gray stoneware fired in a climbing kiln and decorated with a natural ash glaze (formed during the firing as ash from the wood fuel fell on the pots). encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761568150_4/Pottery.html   (1408 words)

Regia Anglorum - Anglo-Saxon and Viking Crafts - Pottery Sometimes the pottery was glazed with simple glazes, most often of yellow or olive green (the technique of glazing appears to have been reintroduced from the Byzantine countries through France). Porchester-type pottery is a hard sandy ware, tempered with finely crushed flint grit, wheel thrown and fired to a reddish or brown surface. The usual forms of this type of pottery are tall cooking pots or jars, usually with sagging bases; bowls, usually with inturned or flanged rims and some with hollow 'spouts' for the insertion of wooden handles; dishes or plates; and lamps. www.regia.org /pottery.htm   (2782 words)

Northwind Pottery Maine After the pottery has been bisque fired, it is glazed and raku fired to a temperature of around 1800f in a propane-fired raku kiln. The pottery is removed from the raku kiln with specially designed raku tongs, while it is still glowing hot, and placed in a metal can filled with combustible materials. The clay used for raku pottery is specially designed to withstand thermal shock, most other clays would crack under the drastic temperature change. www.northwindpottery.com   (318 words)
