Why are Terracotta Pots bad?

Let's first understand the production process of terracotta Pots.

The first step is to practice mud:

Porcelain stone is taken from the mining area, and the porcelain stone is first broken into egg-sized blocks with a manual hammer, and then pounded into powder with a water bucket, washed to remove impurities, and precipitated into brick-like mud. Then mix the mud with water to remove the slag, rub it with your hands or step on it with your feet to squeeze the air out of the mud and make the water in the mud even.

Drafting: Throw the mud ball at the center of the turntable of the potter's wheel, and draw the rough shape of the body by bending and stretching. Drawing is the first process of forming.

The second step is to print blanks:

The shape of the impression mold is formed by turning according to the internal arc of the blank. The semi-dry blank is covered on the mold, and the outer wall of the blank is evenly pressed, and then demolded.

The third step:

Place the blank on the sharp bucket of the potter's wheel, turn the wheel, and spin with a knife to make the thickness of the blank proper, and the surface and the inside are smooth.

The fourth step is to expose the blank:

Place the processed blanks on a wooden rack to dry.

The fifth step of firing the kiln:

First, put the ceramic products into the sagger. The sagger is a container for the firing of ceramic products. It is made of refractory materials. Its function is to prevent the porcelain blank from directly contacting the kiln fire and avoid pollution. It is especially beneficial to the firing of white porcelain. The kiln time process is about one day and night, and the temperature is about 1300 degrees. Build the door of the kiln first, ignite the kiln. The fuel is pine firewood. We will guide Chungong technically, measure the temperature of the kiln, and determine the time for the ceasefire.

Because of the craftsmanship of the red Terracotta Pot, its disadvantage is that it is bulky and fragile.
