Today, chimney pots are still handmade with the same care and craftsmanship that they were in the last century. First, each chimney pot is individually hand crafted, either being thrown on a wheel or using a mold. The chimney pots are then hand completed by an artisan. Once completed, the chimney pots must dry for several days before being loaded into a kiln, where they are fired at temperatures of 2,000 degrees or more.
