Meaning of "sagger" in English

A "sagger" is a protective casing made of fireclay used in pottery making. It serves as a shield for unfired ceramic ware during the high-temperature firing process in kilns. Saggers prevent pieces from coming into direct contact with flames and gases, ensuring the ceramic's integrity and surface finish. Historically, saggers were essential in large-scale pottery production, allowing potters to stack multiple items in kilns neatly and efficiently. While modern kilns often have more sophisticated systems, traditional saggers are still used, particularly in artisanal settings.
