Set′ter.


Porcelain.) A seggar adapted and shaped to receive an article of porcelain biscuit, for firing in the kiln. Seggars proper contain a pile of plates or other articles, but setters are specifically adapted for a single article of porcelain. Like seggars, they are made of a marly clay, and have lids, or each forms a lid for the one below it, when they are reared in bungs in the kiln. A bung is a pile of seggars or setters in place.
