| Abstract | ||
| This research can be summarized as a serious attempt to a strategy for obtaining handmade ceramics with distinctive features of historical ceramics in different historical eras, which in turn confirmed the identity. Research problem: The research problem is the following: 1- Are handmade products with a distinctive character for identity available? 2- How to obtain handmade ceramic products of a historical nature. Objectives: 1. Determining the methods of producing handmade ceramics with a distinctive identity through the use of historical forms and decorative elements and with appropriate techniques. 2. Confirmation of identity in handcrafted ceramic designs with a historical character. 3. Strengthening the economic thought through handcrafted ceramic products that can compete as ceramics with a distinctive character. 4.Supporting the tourist movement by providing the tourist with a product that reminds him of his fascination with the historical ceramics. Research importance: There is cultural importance in the necessity of having features of Egyptian handmade ceramics to confirm identity, in addition to the economic importance in making it a ceramic that can compete with international handmade ceramics, especially if it is considered that Egypt is a tourist country, so promoting this type of ceramics is easier. Research Methodology: Experimental method. Results: 1- Access to more than one methodology for the production of handmade ceramic forms with a distinctive historical character of identity. 2- When using the same materials, fire conditions and molding methods, the product will be more similar in effect. 3-Natural raw materials such as Aswan clay with stabilization of other conditions gives a result that is closer to the characteristics of the archaeological form. 4- Possibility of obtaining utensils with special characteristics that distinguish the identity using the simulation methodology for historical ceramics. 5- The possibility of obtaining pottery works that have special features that distinguish the identity using the methodology of drawing inspiration from the historical arts. 6- Simulation and inspiration from historical arts necessarily leads to historical and technical studies that benefit the potter in the field of specialization. Conclusion: It is possible through experimentation and matching of the techniques used in the past with the use of modern capabilities available such as prefabricated raw materials(frit & stains) or electric furnaces to obtain hand-made porcelain with distinctive features of historical ceramics in different historical eras, which in turn confirmed the identity., and this is done through the practical application of experiments With appropriate technical methods in addition to the presence of more than one entrance to the design, where a number of methodologies have been developed to obtain those products of a historical nature, including inspiration, simulation and reproduction. Appropriate techniques have been used to design depending on the type of product and its extension to a particular historical origin. In each experiment identity is maintained as a necessary basis for the product.To obtain that methodology it was necessary to define the meaning of identity, its diversity, and how to assert it in the porcelain product. A set of experiments were carried out through a simulation exercise by male and female students majoring in ceramics at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Egypt, which resulted in handcrafted ceramic products of an Islamic nature and others of an Egyptian pharaonic character, and others. Among those products were those that were in the context of direct simulation, some of which were developed for some, and some that were inspired by the historical character. The recent results were satisfactory and can be built upon and developed through recommendations that the research hopes to take into consideration because of their technical, economic and tourism importance. | ||
