1. Are the top rims and the edges of the handles sharp to the touch? 

2. Is the curvature at the top of a drinking vessel suitable for drinking from? Does it curve in or out, or is it straight up? (For optimum function, there should be a slight curve outward so that liquid flows easily from the vessel into the mouth and does not dribble.)

3. Is the shape and weight of the object suitable to be held or drunk from?

4. Does the handle have sufficient room for fingers? Handles should have room for average-sized fingers (granted, hands come in all shapes and sizes, but the thickness of the thickest part of the average forefinger is about 1 inch). If handles are too big, it will probably feel awkward and look awkward.

5. Does the handle fit the hand, or do the fingers have to conform to the handle?

6. Is the width of the mouth of a drinking vessel too large or too small? For comfortable drinking, the width of the mouth of a drinking vessel should be no more than the distance from the lips to the bridge of the nose

7. Does the shape of the pot need handles to fulfill its intended use?

8. Does the sound or texture of the surface aggravate the user?

9. Does the object as designed get too hot to hold? If your piece is designed for hot liquid, you might want to adjust the thickness of the walls or attach a handle so that hands don’t get burnt.

10. Could it work better and be more comfortable to use than it is?


More questions

How do they put patterns on ceramics?
The technique uses tools with pointed heads to engrave a design by cutting or scraping it into the clay surface. When it is coated, you will obtain more precise lines. Stamping uses natural materials to create patterns on the ceramic work including shells, barks, stone, and molds.


What are the three types of ceramics?
There are three main types of pottery/ceramic. These are earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain.


What is the definition of texture in ceramics?
The texture is defined as the orientation distribution of the crystallites in a polycrystalline material. This definition is the same for all kinds of materials.


How do you explain texture?
Texture is the physical feel of something — smooth, rough, fuzzy, slimy, and lots of textures something in between. Sandpaper is very rough — it has a gritty, rough texture. Other things, like linoleum, have a smooth texture. Texture has to do with how an object feels and its ingredients.


Why is texture important in ceramics?
In the creation of modern ceramic art, decorative ceramics with texture as the main decorative technique plays a very important role. The rich texture-making methods and clay bodies make the texture types abundant and changeable. The variety of textures brings infinite space for artists' creation and imagination.


What does texture mean in materials?
In physical chemistry and materials science, texture is the distribution of crystallographic orientations of a polycrystalline sample (it is also part of the geological fabric). A sample in which these orientations are fully random is said to have no distinct texture.
