Black - flattened ceramics is a very ancient craft, which results in truly unique products.
Currently, the technology of black absorption is practically not used, despite all its uniqueness, effectiveness and originality.
When "polishing" - the surface of the product is rubbed to a mirror Shine with a stone-naked, a bone, a steel spoon, a glass bubble. Polishing compacts the top layer of clay, making it less water-permeable and more durable.
The process of polishing is absolutely impossible to mechanize. Almost all operations are performed manually, with considerable effort.
The most important part of processing black – smoothed products is roasting. It gives the dishes a noble, black hue.
Black-smoothed ceramics are obtained when, at the end of firing a smoothed (polished) product, a resinous tree is thrown up, giving a lot of soot.
The oven is hermetically sealed so that there is no access to oxygen, and soot fills the pores of the product.
The product gets a deep black color and metallic luster.
