The picture illustrates how ceramic pots are manufactured.
Overall, the process is divided into three main stages: raw materials delivery, clay preparation, and pot manufacture.

The first stage involves digging the raw materials using an excavator, which are then delivered to the factory by a dumper truck. At the factory, the soil is crushed in a special machine so that it becomes soft. Next, the soft soil is mixed with water before being transferred to molds that give shape to clay. At this point, the clay dries and is molded into a pot.

Having dried in about four to six hours, the clay pots are then assembled and put into an oven at 1000 degrees celsius to be reinforced in their shape. Next, the pots are colored in a bucket, after which they are sent into the oven again for color firing. Finally, colored pots are ready to be used.
