Abstract
AT Chunar, in district Mirzapur, U.P., the
village potters have been making glazed red
clay pottery for some generations. This Institute
has been investigating improved bodies and
glazes for Chunar potters to enable them to
achieve improvements in their products. This
paper deals with the study of Chunar raw
materials, taken up with a view to developing
improved body compositions having optimum
mechanical strength. In subsequent communications
development of suitable glazes for
Chunar Pottery will be dealt with.
