| dc.description.abstract | Community “Four Handle Jar pottery” was a major production of
earthenware steamer of Hourd to store a sugar in ancient times. The research team
has studied the information to develop and improve the fabrication process to be
quick and easy to produce by the elderly. The results of the study and analysis
revealed that the composition of stoneware clay and the earthenware clay from
“Four Handle Jar pottery” to prepare the slurry was a ratio of 1 to 9 mixed clay and
a specific gravity of 1.6-1.7 can be used in the process of hollow slip casting under
the use of 2 pieces plaster mold. Pottery with a local identity can be used the slip
casting method to save time and reduce the labour force because the group of
labour is older and also produce a lot. The experiment showed that sample was a
shrinkage of 12% after firing at 900 and ๑,๒๐๐ oC. The scores were at a high level of
4.๘0. The method of preparation slip was easy to understand and not complicated 4.
๗๕, neatness of plaster molds was average 4.๘๒, save time 4.6๗ , suitable for older
labor 4.87, maintain the local identity 4.๙๐, reduce damaged after firing 4.๕6, can be
produced in large numbers easier 4.๘๖, the hollow casting is as complete as the
method of throwing 4.๖๑, control thickness of sample 4.๘ 9. The participants can be
produced of hollow casting, reduce working time when compared with a throwing
that requires much force to do and time to practice skill. The hollow casting need to
learn how to prepare slip, demolding and decoration. From the firing of firewood
kiln, it remains the unique color of the ancient pottery, good dry condition, easy to
seam decoration and reduce damage after firing. | en_US |
