I have not seen anyone mention the obvious one, China. It is how the
Sung Dynasty potters kept those porcelains free of fly ash in the wood
fired and coal fired kilns.
In Japan the word for Saggar is Saia (pronounced Sigh ah) I am not
sure if the is onyomi or kunyomi, the Japanese or Chinese pronunciation
of the Kanji or if you will character.

Hi Rick;
Can you send me the Kanji in jpeg to my email? I have the book 'The
traditional crafts of porcelain making in Jingdezhen' There are characters
'Sagger' in chinese but it's in simplified chinese and I don't know how to
read it.
Just curious
Thanks

Rick, do you know the kanji? I am wondering what the characters for
saggar are in Chinese and what their pronunciation is.
Using Breen's dictionary Saia or *さいあ *doesn't come up
with anyting.
Breen's seems the best dictionary and translator I've found
online. For translation, it breaks down the text, word by word or
character by character so you can make decisions on which meaning best
fits the words.
