This is made from Plainsman M340, it is a pottery clay used mainly for throwing on the wheel. Yet it proved to be no problem to dry this in the sun and fire it, no cracks appeared. This shape is amazingly stable, although this piece is fired to near vitrification (about 2% porosity) it has stayed square. This was a test piece to prove the concept could be first-fired without failure, subsequent pieces were made using special clays and the in-facing load-bearing corners were thickened and strengthened.
