sawdust smoking

Cosmetic smoking process where unglazed wares are buried in sawdust in a brick enclosure or a perforated steel drum. Sawdust is ignited at the top and allowed to smoulder down over a period of hours. Often mistakenly referred to as pit-firing, but does not achieve true firing temperatures, and wares must be bisque-fired first.
