Abstract
Burnishing offers to the contemporary potter a means of decoration alternative to the standard glazing techniques. The method was developed in the early history of pottery in several parts of the world. This paper is a brief history of the burnishing techniques used in several cultures and an exploration of those techniques as they can be used by the contemporary potter. In the historical documentation, particular emphasis has been placed on the Greek “varnish" ware and on Peruvian burnished ware. These two were chosen for special emphasis because each reached exceptionally high technical and artistic 1evel in the production of their burnished pottery. Their particular techniques can be used or improved upon by the contemporary potter interested in making burnished pottery.
