This article is about the kiln furniture. For the Syrian god, see Saggar (god).
A saggar (also misspelled as sagger or segger) is a type of kiln furniture.[1][2][3] It is a ceramic boxlike container used in the firing of pottery to enclose or protect ware being fired inside a kiln. The name may be a contraction of the word safeguard.[4]
Saggars are still used in the production of ceramics to shield ware from the direct contact of flames and from damage by kiln debris.[5][6][7]
Traditionally, saggars were made primarily from fireclay.[8][9] Saggars have been used to protect, or safeguard, ware from open flame, smoke, gases and kiln debris:[10] Modern saggars are made of alumina ceramic, cordierite ceramic, mullite ceramic silicon carbide[11][12] and in special cases from zirconia.[13]
