What does SAGGAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A box of fireclay in which fragile pottery is enclosed while it is fired in a kiln.
Potters stack a saggar inside the kiln so that the ware within is shielded from flames, smoke and falling debris. Because the box is made of the same sort of clay that withstands high heat, it can be used again and again. The word is also met in the spelling sagger and in the older form seggar, and it can serve as a verb meaning to pack ware in such a box. Some modern potters deliberately load a saggar with sawdust or salts to colour the pots by smoke.
