Clay in the raw state obtained from the place of origin (deposits) have a variety of colors beige, yellow brown, red brown, gray, and black, the color differences are influenced by the ratio of the levels of ingredients include a mixture of clay or dirt humus (organic ), iron oxide (Fe), manganese oxide (Mn), cupper oxide (Cu), cksida cobalt (Co), etc..<\/p>\n

At the time of the combustion process that is both organic impurities will be burnt, while the materials are chemically bonded to cause the clay to color. In general, the most widely Earthenware clay contains iron oxide (Fe).<\/p>\n

Form of granules or particles that will provide smooth and soft plastic bending properties or if it contains water that serves as a lubricant. Earthenware clay plasticity is high enough so that the dry shrinkage and shrinkage grilled too high, so the higher the plasticity of clay higher the dry shrinkage and shrinkage fuel. Another trait is high enough porousitasnya after experiencing burning process and this is because the clay still contains a lot of sand.<\/p>\n

Given the porous nature allows water forming out of the ceramic body during the drying process so that the ceramic objects are not easily broken or cracked.
