Dear Serge Rega,
I think you will find that the vertical chimney as such may have been =
employed by the Romans who devised elaborate flue systems to heat their =
domestic bathing pools. But I do not know if they built permanent kiln =
sites or employed chimneys for their kilns. I recall seeing pictures of =
the reconstruction of Khmer cross draught kilns that had a chimney
You might find useful information in
Llewellynn Jewett, "The Ceramic Art of Great Britain", illustrated, =
published 1878.
I have found it useful to contact Industrial Museums around the World, =
especially where there is a strong industrial ceramic heritage. They =
often have records that have not been accessed by writers who publish =
for the ceramic arts audience.
I would suggest the Industrial Museum at Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and =
Wear, UK and the Sunderland Museum Sunderland Tyne and Wear, UK.
The State Museum, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia has supported =
archaeological explorations in S.E Asia where they have excavated kiln =
sites. They may be able to help you.
Best regards,
