Understanding the Firing Process for Moroccan Pottery and sinks

Moroccan pottery is generally fired to temperatures in the mid-range, from 1162°C to 1240°C (2124°F to 2264°F), though specific temperatures depend on the clay body and glaze type used. This mid-range firing ensures the clay is durable and vitrified, creating a dense, non-porous ceramic ready for glazing.  

Understanding the Firing Process
Pottery is typically fired in two stages: 

1. Bisque Firing:
The first firing at a lower temperature, around 960-1000°C (1760-1832°F), removes organic materials and makes the clay hard but still porous, preparing it for the next stage.
2. Glaze Firing:
The second, higher-temperature...
