The stage reached in the drying of clay when most of the water of plasticity has evaporated off, maximum shrinkage has occurred and the clay particles have come into contact with each other. It is at this stage that most surface treatments and some secondary manufacturing techniques, such as paddling, are executed, because the clay is still moist enough to allow alteration. Also known as green-hard.
