The process of mixing clay in potteries with a blunger.

It is then thoroughly mixed21 with water in a blunger and passed through a succession of sieves until all foreign matter and impurities are left behind and it is the consistency of cream.

Usually due to hurried firing or the sudden access of heat, and the consequent generation of steam.Blunger.—A machine for mixing clay.Bungs.—Piles of filled saggars.Chuck or Chum.—The cone or cap used to support shapes during turning on the lathe.Clamming.—The wet marl, sand, or siftings applied to cracks in the hatches or doors of kilns to retain the heat during firing.Craze.—The minute cracks that appear in a badly fitting glaze.

It consists of two balls — the quaffle for scoring and the blunger for throwing at opponents like a dodge ball.

The blunger crushed the clay, the sifter extracted the iron from it by means of a magnet, the press expelled the water, and the pug-mill expelled the air.
