Throwing and Turning is a special production technique used for making special articles. In this method the articles are made by throwing the plastic body on a potter’s wheel and subsequently finished in leather hard condition in a lathe by turning. This process is also used for making some cups where a ‘foot’ can not be made by a simple jolleying process. The article is jolleyed and finished by turning. There are automatic cup turning machines widely used across the world for making china cups and now a days the process is copied for making earthenware ceramic cups.
