Kerámiaszerszám

Kerámiaszerszám is a Hungarian term that translates to "ceramic tool" or "pottery tool." These tools are essential for the creation of ceramic objects, ranging from simple hand-built pottery to intricate sculpted pieces. The specific types of kerámiaszerszám employed depend on the stage of ceramic work, whether it's shaping, decorating, or finishing.

In the initial stages of working with clay, tools like modeling tools, ribs, and loop tools are used to shape and refine the form of the ceramic piece. These can be made from wood, plastic, or metal, and their design allows for precise manipulation of the wet clay. For decorative purposes, a variety of stamps, carving tools, and texture rollers are utilized to apply patterns and surface treatments. Sponges and brushes also fall under the category of kerámiaszerszám, used for applying slips, glazes, and smoothing surfaces.

Once a piece is formed and has reached a leather-hard stage, specialized cutting tools and trimming tools are employed to remove excess clay and define the base or foot of the object. Even after firing, certain ceramic tools might be used for post-firing finishing, such as grinding or polishing specific areas. The term kerámiaszerszám broadly encompasses any implement used in the process of ceramic art and craft.
