Pot′ter-y. Earthenware glazed and baked. Clay possesses the property of plasticity; that is, when moistened, it yields to pressure in any direction without breaking, anthat acquired by mere drying, and if crumbled after baking, can never again become plastic by incorporation with water. Clay unmixed contracts in drying, exfoliates, and falls to pieces. Sand corrects this, and when introduced within given propor
