Abstract
There is an old saying amongst Master-Potters that clay has a very long memory. It remembers all that has been done to it during the various stages of manufacture, particularly the harsh treatments, and it very strongly hits back in its reactions. For example any whiteware body that has been dried too rapidly will crac~ ; should this crack be patched up and ~pparendly covered in the bone-dry state, it is ntore often than not likely to show up after firing. Or should any plate be jiggered and the amount of water be allowed to fall below the requisite limit, when the profile is liable to jump and again ~ore water us~d to smoothen the surface of the plate, it results in an apparently well finished plate, but such a plate is found invariably to come out of the oven warped. Many other instances could be quoted of a parallel nature. But these two would serve for the time being to illuotratc the point under reference.
