Humpback Kiln

A Humpback Kiln is an ancient type of kiln used for firing ceramics, characterized by its dome-shaped, hump-like arch design. Its curved structure evenly distributes heat, making it efficient for firing pottery and ceramics. The kiln's shape allows for a consistent high-temperature environment inside, essential for hardening and glazing materials. Historically used across various cultures, the Humpback Kiln employs a fuel supply that heats the interior, with openings for loading and controlling airflow. Its design reflects advanced understanding of thermal dynamics, contributing to durable ceramic products.
