I don't think that this argument holds water (feeble pun not
intended). Ware suitable for domestic use can be made from clay that
matures at ^6 or lower, the key word being 'matures', and I do not believe
that reduction-firing in any way strengthens a pot. Of course, if a ^10
clay is fired to ^6 or so, the finished pot will be porous and less durable.
