    made from gold, silver, or other fine twisted wire developed

    pulling it through drawplates. Wires are then flattened in or
    twisted together and flattened.

    Pottery in Indonesia
    Pottery has a very long history in Indonesia, Pottery making in prehistoric
    Indonesia stillut8i;ized simple or not. Early techniques relied on pottery making
    hands without tools. Pottery was made by hand pinching and coiling techniques both.
    Later developments saw the introduction of the hand wheel tool, which later
    supplemented by the used of paddle and anvil tools. Paddle and anvil tools are still
    used today due to their simplicity of use and manufacture ( Ministry of Trade of
    Republic of Indonesia)
    The history of ceramic in Indonesia began when the Hakka Chinese immigrants
    from the Kwantung and Fukien provinces came to Indonesia in the first half of the
    18th century to work as gold miners in West Kalimtan and tin miners on Bangka and
    Bilinton . These immigrants were presumably built the first high fired kiln site in
    Indonesia (singkawang) to cater to the needs of the chinese workers . They built a
    long tunnel looked like kiln as they called it tingku naga ( dragon kiln).
    Singkawang ceramics are strongly influenced by ancient China style. The kiln
    technology copied those of the chinese ancestors , from Han Dynasty , that called
    Dragon Kiln(Tungku Naga). They produced teapots and huge vessels by hand wheel.
    The potters are very sophisticated in copying the old and ancient style and it is
    difficult to detect between the original and the imitate one.
