- Notes - Elderly Marciana Campo is seen meticulously checking a newly molded cooking pot. To her right are finished wares dried under the sun. Sun-baked vessels when filled with water collapses into shapeless masses. Baking with fire is recommended to remove whatever water still remains after sun -drying A common practice isto bake them inside a hole on the ground where the heat oflive charcoals(about 350 degrees to 400 degrees centigrade) is pumped and sustained by bellows. Heating lasts from half an hour to two days and the durability of the prodect depends upon the length of baking, The clay mixture, originally yellow ochre or mud-brown in color, becomes orange or brick-red when heated under oxidizing conditions; the iron present in the clay is chaged inot red-iron oxide. Dark colors result fromsmoking or overheating.
