The process is by spreading tamarind juices over a hot clay bisque. Pottery makers should work with heat when doing the finishing process; a hot process of pottery making.
The blend of dark-spotted tamarind color is created completely by nature, a result of natural chemistry between the hot clay bisque and the tamarind juices. Truly a traditional method of finishing the pottery in villages in Indonesia.
People can't simply compare them with pottery which has acrylic paint finishing on it. Tamarind pottery's value is definitely much higher than that of an ordinary painted pottery vases. And to further protect the finishing, we apply water repellant matt coating materials on top of this tamarind finishes; it helps making the finish last longer.
