Fired
This material has been placed in a fire, heated to a certain temperature, and cooled. This is done to increase the permanence of the object, or give it other properties. Fired brick and Terracottas are usually fired at lower temperatures below 500o C wheras ceramic vessels are usually fired at above 500o C. Ceramics may be fired up to 1300o C before breaking in the kiln.

By definition, pottery includes all fired ceramic wares that contain clay when formed, except technical, structural, and refractory products. Most pottery/ceramics are fired above 500o C. They can be fired in open pits, bonfires, or kilns. The shaping processes are also varied, from handmade to molded, to wheelmade. Various types of surface decoration also exist. All these modifications should be noted in the Technique field.
Terracotta refers to low fired wares (less than 500o C) that are constructed of clay. It is a type of earthenware that is glazed or unglazed and the body is porous. It is used to refer to objects made out of clay that are not constructed on a potter's wheel such as figurines or tablets, sometimes bricks or drains.
Like pottery, this material can be fired in an open pit, a bonfire, or a kiln. The iron content gives the material a yellow, orange, red, pink, grey, or brown color. It has many different techniques of forming as well as surface decoration.
