Saggar maker's bottom knocker:
A SAGGAR is a fireclay container, usually oval or round, used to protect pottery from marking by flames and smoke during firing in a bottle oven.
The SAGGAR MAKER, is a skilled man, producing the finished saggar, using his thumb to make a near join between the side and the base.
The BOTTOM KNOCKER (a young boy) made the base of the saggar from a lump of fireclay which he knocked into a metal ring using a wooden mallet or mawl (pronounced mow).
Take a look at this site for more info and illustrations.
