The mug is produced by classical technology from the clay on the potter's wheel in this video. The ceramics was produced with this technique in the whole Slovakia. Individual regions differed by their decorations. The western Slovakia is known by majolica pottery from the Modra region and the eastern Slovakia by the pottery from Pozdisovce region.
The head is first prepared as the foundation – a piece of clay is cut out to make the matter better adhering. The bottom of the mug will expand. From the bottom of the mug the tile begins to pull up. When the tile is pulled out, it can be shaped (before it is still possible to cut the bottom). The abdomen is pressed. The inside is sucked off with a water sponge, so that the mass will not be dissolved later. The creature gets its final shape with a blade and then is smoothed with a sponge. Finally the pouring hole is formed and the ear is attached. After drying, the mug is fired in an electric kiln at the temperature of 950 degrees Celsius. After the first firing, the mug is glazed. Consequently it goes for the next firing, in which the glaze spreads to form a thiny glassy layer.
