Polishing leatherhard clay by rubbing with a smooth stone or back of a spoon etc
The smoothing of surfaces by rubbing, accomplished chiefly by the movement rather than the removal of the surface layer
Enhancing the smoothness and shininess of a surface such as metallic pigment by polishing with a burnishing tool
Dry polishing of a hardened unfired piece to produce a glaze-like surface which may be fired
A process by which leatherhard or blackhard clay is made smooth by rubbing it with a hard smooth object like a stone, spoon or piece of glass This procedure gives the piece a polished look Burnished pots are usually unglazed but sometimes fine slips are applied to add to the decorating Burnishing not only adds a glossy surface, it also contributes to the durability of the clay by making it more resistant to water absorption See also leatherhard, blackhard, slip

A process by which the surfaces of a planchet or a coin are made to shine through rubbing or polishing This term is used in two contexts -- one positive, one negative In a positive sense, Proof planchets are burnished before they are struck -- a procedure done originally by rubbing wet sand across the surfaces to impart a mirror like finish In a negative sense, the surfaces on repaired and altered coins sometimes are burnished by various methods In some instances, a high-speed drill with some type of wire brush attachment is used to achieve this effect
Polishing through friction typically from high speed mechanical means using a polishing agent
Descriptive term referring to smooth, very bright, mirror-like surfaces usually indicating the need for better lubrication
The process of polishing the surface of a pot until the clay is compacted and the surface smooth and glossy a hard object like a smooth stone or the back of a spoon is usually used
