Cress E2418 Ceramic Kiln

Cress E2418 Ceramic Kiln

Elevate your pottery production with the Cress E2418 Ceramic Kiln, designed to boost firing capacity while keeping precise control at your fingertips. The decagonal chamber measures 23.38 inches wide by 18 inches deep, delivering about 4.7 cubic feet of firing space. That translates to batches large enough for 25–30 bowls, multiple place settings, or medium-sized sculptures in a single load. With five preset firing programs plus custom options, you can tailor ramp rates, holds, and final temperatures to suit earthenware, stoneware, or high-fire porcelain. Stack several shelves filled with teapots, vases, and serving platters, plus test tiles, and maintain efficient workflow. The decagonal interior design minimizes wasted space and keeps arrangements tidy without awkward corners.
