Characteristics: no glaze, unique markings from burnable materials, smoke and fire. For a smooth surface, burnish before firing. 

EXPERIMENT!!! Explore the possibilities!! Wrap with string, cotton, place pots on top of each other, try wood shavings, paper, oxides, leaves, Spanish moss, baking soda, - the only limitation is your own imagination..
