A green body (38) of a vessel-shaped piece of sanitary ware made by slip casting, such as a washbasin, is demolded by a robot having an arm (28) provided at its free end with a suction pad (30) which is brought into contact with the outer surface of the bottom of the green body (38) to hold it by suction. The green body is, then, rotated or otherwise moved for finishing by a stationary device (46,50), while it is held by the robot. The robot enables the automatic demolding and finishing of the green body. <IMAGE> |
