To make this item of beauty, the shape is formed by pouring liquid clay into a mould, letting this dry, then cleaned and prepared to be fired at 800 degrees. Once cooled, the design is marked on the clay pot, the artist tube lines a fine slip of clay to give it the tube lined effect, it is then fired at 800 degrees, then it finally goes to the painters who paint the vibrant colours the paint is left to dry glaze is applied and again fired.
