high-fired pottery

High-fired pottery refers to ceramics that have been fired at very high temperatures, typically ranging from 1,200°C to 1,300°C (2,192°F to 2,372°F). This process creates a dense, durable, and non-porous material, making the pottery stronger and more resistant to water and wear. High-fired ceramics often have a smooth, glass-like surface and are less porous than low-fired counterparts. This firing method is common in stoneware and porcelain, producing pieces suitable for daily use and often exhibiting enhanced aesthetic qualities due to the firing’s effect on glaze and surface texture.
