<p>[QUOTE="Iconodule, post: 11530064, member: 91417"]Terracotta is basically earthenware with iron in it, giving it the reddish hue. I always think of earthenware/ terracotta as low fire, cone 06, c. 1800 degrees, but it actually has more range: cone 06 to 04. It remains porous after it is fired. (Think of terracotta flower pots, but also used for hand-built sculpture, etc.)</p><p>That's c. 1800 F (c. 1000 C). This is an international forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
