Saggar Fired Pottery
Saggar fired pottery refers to a technique where pottery pieces are fired inside a protective container called a saggar. The saggar is typically made of fireproof materials such as clay, metal, or refractory materials. This method allows for a controlled firing environment, protecting the pottery from direct contact with flames and smoke. The result is often unique and unpredictable effects on the surface of the pottery, as the saggar can trap and intensify certain elements during the firing process. Saggar fired pottery is known for its rich, smoky colors and distinctive markings, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
