  • Egyptian Faience - Egyptian faience is the oldest known type of glazed ceramic, first developed more than 5,000 years ago in Egypt and elsewhere in the ancient world, using the process of efflorescence. This process involves mixing the glaze materials in with the rest of the ingredients. Metals in the paste colour the glaze, for example copper for a turquoise colour and cobalt for a blue glaze. As the moulded object dries, the glaze materials move to the surface of the object. When the object is fired in a kiln, the glaze materials undergo a chemical change which brings out the colours.
  • Amulet - Often inscribed with a magic incantation or symbol, an amulet is an object worn as a charm to protect the wearer from an evil, such as disease or witchcraft.
