First, we must define cinnabar. Real cinnabar is Mercury sulfide. It isn't used in pottery. It is extremely toxic and decomposes at 580 C (well below kiln temperatures). However, what is called cinnabar glaze is a deep red stoneware glaze, and fairly non-toxic (although like any glaze, the dust can be harmful).
