WHAT DOES SAGGAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

saggar

Saggar

A saggar is a ceramic, boxlike container used in the firing of pottery to enclose or protect ware in kilns. Traditionally saggars were made primarily from fireclay. Saggars have been used to protect, or safeguard, ware from open flame, smoke, gases and kiln debris: the name is a contraction of "safeguard". Their use is widespread, including in China, Korea, Japan and the United Kingdom. Saggars are still used in the production of ceramics to shield ware from the direct contact of flames and from damage by kiln debris. Modern saggars are made of alumina ceramic, cordierite ceramic, mullite ceramic and silicon carbide. A Saggar Maker's Bottom Knocker was a job associated with the manufacturer of saggars in the UK, a name considered sufficiently amusing for it to be featured on the television panel show What's My Line?. Whilst sagger making was a skilled craft, bottom knocking was far less skilled, consisting of beating clay into a metal ring with a wooden mallet or Mawl. Young boys were often employed. The occupation is no longer needed as modern automated production techniques and far cleaner kilns,, do not require wares to be protected.
