IMPASTO

IMPASTO
   A general Italian term for coarse, generally handmade pottery (with coarse inclusions in the clay), of low firing temperature (800o C) and of local rather than imported manufacture. Prior to the ninth century BC, this formed the full repertoire of pottery that could be burnished and decorated. From the seventh century onward, coarse pottery became more refined, with greater control in preparation (choice of finer clays, range of forms, wheel turning, and surface finish) and firing (higher temperatures and greater control) and was accompanied by fine wares.
