Sumi,
Regarding your query about anyone making unglazed terra cotta chicken =3D
baking pots (Romertopfs, they were called in the 70s when I had one)...
There is an article in a _very_ old ceramics monthly about an =3D
Appalachian traditional potter named Clyde Gobble (I kid you not!) =3D
making chicken baking pots. It detailed his techniques for making them. =
=3D
Very interesting article.
That's about the best I can do.
Sincerely,
Richard Aerni
