This delicate technique prevails land sealed using non-calcareous clays white paste with grain sizes of grog thin or absent.
Stages of shaping and finishing are critical for the success of the building, in fact poorly finished objects give rise to defects ingobbio vitrification. For this we may want to round the edges and picketing finely objects.

The Earth is sealed clay, much improved and covered with a beautiful “paint” coral, orange or brown leather, paint to define a colored pottery with slips vitrifying. These special coatings are obtained by separating the part clay and coarser from the colloid.
