Each clay type has a different shaping process:
- plastic clay: is used to produce revolution pieces such as plates and saucers, these use a roller machine to achieve the shape;
- liquid clay: used to manufacture more complex pieces in a variety of sizes and shapes such as tureens, coffee pots or vases, these are all made using the traditional filling method using plaster moulds. Other pieces, such as platters and pickle dishes can be shaped under pressure “between plaster”
