Its thin fabric has been regarded as the surest criterion to distinguish it from the degenerated form of the ware. Saran (\*op. cit.\*) observes that the egg-shell thickness of the ware was attained by first throwing the pot on the wheel itself—a process which would also explain the open-mouthed shape of the pots. An emulsion which could serve as a slip was applied at this stage. - [Previous: v1.c16.s14.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s14.3) - [Next: v1.c16.s14.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s14.5) - [Up: v1.c16.s14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s14.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c16.s14.4) · Pramāṇa
