The factory is equipped with machinery and kilns of the most modern type. Illus- trations are given in Plates X and XI of the ' slip-house ' and of a moulding room of the factory. The former is that portion of the works where nearly all the processes for the preparation of the potter's paste are carried on; the latter is the room in which only the throwing oper- ation is conducted. The casting and pressing methods of moulding, which the factory also adopts, are done in other rooms. The factory ...is now turning out very fair qualities of glazed ware consisting of cups, saucers, plates, ink-pots, gallipots, insulators, dolls and figures. Of the indigenous industries still existing in India, the potter's craft is perhaps the only one which has not been visibly affected by foreign competition ; and the reason for it is, that the poorer classes of people in this country An improvement cannot afford to pay the high prices of in the indigenous imported pottery. Improvements in this craft are, therefore, not essential to its preservation ; but they would materially assist the potter by reducing his labour as well as his cost of production.
