Fired deformation comparison between two porcelains

Sunday 14th June 2015

These bars were fired at cone 10, they were straight when dry. The back one is a cone 10 insight-live.com/material/831">Grolleg body, the front one is a cone 6 Grolleg body. This simple test is valuable to determine susceptibility to warping in porcelains. If the pyro-plastic deformation is too much, for example, the weight of a handle will pull the round rim of a mug into an oval shape, for example.
