Stilt (ceramics)

[2] The use of this stilt can be deduced from damage to the glaze where the three raised points were in direct contact with it.

[8] A stilt has been found at a Roman kiln site near Holt, Wrexham County Borough dating to around the first or second century AD.

[9] In archaeology, they may be upside-down baked clay tripods, leaving characteristic marks at the bottoms of the pottery/porcelain.

In the 19th century centralised industrial production of molded three-arm stilts began common in the UK with Staffordshire exporting them to other parts of the country.

[7] Some researchers have used kiln stilts as a settlement substrate for coral larva including those of the species Dendrogyra cylindrus.
