For geologists, fabric analysis means spatial arrangement of minerals in a rock. For Archaeologists, the <i>"fabric analysis"</i> of pottery entails the study of <i>clay matrix</i> and <i>inclusions</i> in the clay body as well as the <i>firing temperature and conditions</i>.

The jigger tool shapes one face while the mould shapes the other. Jiggering is used only in the production of flat wares, such as plates, but a similar operation, <i>jolleying</i>, is used in the production of hollow-wares such as cups. Jiggering and jolleying have been used in the production of pottery since at least the 18th century.

Wares may in this way be shaped, using relatively unskilled labour, in one operation at a rate of about twelve pieces per minute, though this varies with the size of the articles being produced.

The high pressure leads to much faster casting rates and, hence, faster production cycles. Furthermore, the application of high pressure air through the polymeric moulds upon demoulding the cast means a new casting cycle can be started immediately in the same mould, unlike plaster moulds which require lengthy drying times. The polymeric materials have much greater durability than plaster and, therefore, it is possible to achieve shaped products with better dimensional tolerances and much longer mould life.

Glazes enhance the aesthetic appeal of pottery, provide a waterproof barrier, and improve its durability. Below are the major types of glazing commonly used in pottery: </p><p>1. Glossy Glaze - Produces a shiny, reflective surface. - Highlights intricate patterns and textures. - Often used for decorative purposes. </p><p>2. Matte Glaze - Provides a smooth, non-reflective finish. - Suitable for modern and minimalist designs. - Ideal for functional wares like plates and mugs, as it minimizes glare. </p><p>3. Transparent Glaze - Can be glossy or matte. - Allows the underlying decoration or texture of the pottery to show through. - Often used over underglaze decorations. </p><p>4. Opaque Glaze - Completely covers the surface of the pottery, hiding any underlying texture or decoration. - Useful for creating uniform, bold colors. </p><p>5. Celadon Glaze - A translucent glaze, usually in shades of green or blue. - Originated in China and is popular in East Asian ceramics. - Accentuates carved or textured designs beneath the glaze. </p><p>6. Ash Glaze - Made from natural wood ash. - Creates unpredictable and unique textures during firing. - Often used in wood-fired kilns to achieve traditional aesthetics. </p><p>7. Salt Glaze - Achieved by introducing salt into a hot kiln during firing. - Produces a textured, orange-peel-like surface. - Common in traditional stoneware pottery. </p><p>8. Shino Glaze - A traditional Japanese glaze made from feldspar and clay. - Produces warm earthy tones, such as orange, red, and brown. - Works well in wood-fired pottery. </p><p>9. Satin Glaze - Offers a finish between matte and glossy. - Combines elegance with functionality. - Popular for tableware and decorative pieces. </p><p>10. Textured Glaze - Designed to create raised or recessed textures. - Adds visual and tactile interest to pottery. </p><p>11. Raku Glaze - Specifically designed for raku firing, where pottery is removed from the kiln while still hot. - Produces crackled textures and unique, unpredictable patterns. - Often used for artistic or decorative purposes. </p><p>12. Metallic or Lustre Glaze - Contains metal oxides or compounds, producing a metallic or iridescent finish. - Adds a luxurious appearance to pottery. - Requires specialized firing techniques. </p><p>13. Lead Glaze - Historically used for its shiny and smooth finish. - Toxicity concerns have reduced its use in modern pottery. </p><p>14. Feldspathic Glaze - Made from feldspar minerals. - Creates a glossy, natural finish. - Common in high-fired ceramics. </p><p>15. Engobe or Slip Glaze - A combination of slip (liquid clay) and glaze. - Used to decorate or add texture before applying a final glaze layer. </p><p>Conclusion Glazes are a vital part of pottery, offering endless possibilities for functional and artistic expression. Each type of glaze interacts uniquely with the clay body and firing conditions, allowing potters to create diverse effects and finishes. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Health_and_environmental_issues">Health and environmental issues</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pottery&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Health and environmental issues"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Although many of the environmental effects of pottery production have existed for millennia, some of these have been amplified with modern technology and scales of production.

Many prehistoric cultures are named after the pottery that is the easiest way to identify their sites, and archaeologists develop the ability to recognise different types from the chemistry of small shards. </p><p>Before pottery becomes part of a culture, several conditions must generally be met. </p> <ul><li>First, there must be usable clay available. Archaeological sites where the earliest pottery was found were near deposits of readily available clay that could be properly shaped and fired. China has large deposits of a variety of clay, which gave them an advantage in early development of fine pottery. Many countries have large deposits of a variety of clay.</li> <li>Second, it must be possible to heat the pottery to temperatures that will achieve the transformation from raw clay to ceramic. Methods to reliably create fires hot enough to <a href="/wiki/Pottery_firing" class="mw-redirect" title="Pottery firing">fire pottery</a> did not develop until late in the development of cultures.</li> <li>Third, the potter must have time available to prepare, shape and fire the clay into pottery. Even after control of fire was achieved, humans did not seem to develop pottery until a <a href="/wiki/Sedentism" title="Sedentism">sedentary life</a> was achieved. It has been hypothesized that pottery was developed only after humans established agriculture, which led to permanent settlements.
