Manufacture: The firing of the sandstone at high temperature is composed of two successive steps. First of all, the firing of raw clay; when it is perfectly dry because the slightest humidity can burst the ceramic, in the electric oven at 980 ° c for 8 hours. This firing makes it possible to chase away the air and tighten the grain, without totally solidifying the clay because it remains porous to allow the glazing to be applied. The glazing is fired in the electric kiln, in an oxidizing atmosphere, at 1280 ° C for about 12 hours. Glazing adapted to this temperature are specific. It will be possible to open the kiln below 200 ° C after a slow cooling of several hours, so as not to risk the breakage of the part
