Description: | Fragment of a sagger from use in a kiln. Saggers were specially made large clay containers with flat bottoms and straight sides. They were quite substantial with thick walls so that they could be placed on top of each other inside the kiln and stacked up. They were used to protect delicate pots from coming into direct contact with the flames during firing.
