METHOD OF PRODUCING CERAMIC WARE

摘要

A method of producing decorative ceramic ware is disclosed. In the first step, a flocculant is added to an aqueous suspension containing as main solid components a fibrous material and a ceramic raw material clay, followed by preparing ceramic raw material sheets from the suspension by the ordinary paper-making method. Prepared are at least two kinds of ceramic raw material sheets differing from each other in color after firing. Then, the stacking-cutting operation of the sheets is performed at least once, in which the different kinds of sheets are alternately stacked, followed by cutting the stacked mass in a direction not parallel with the surface of the raw material sheet. The cut piece is formed into the desired shape and, then, dried and fired to produce a striped or checkered decorative ceramic ware. This particular method permits industrial production of ceramic ware.
