KERAMIC STUDIO 
THE REVELATION KILNS 
H. J. CAULKINS 
Especially well adapted for Glass Firing «• c. perry 
// china decorators would do their own firing with a 
Revelation Kiln, then figure what they had saved, the 
results would be another revelation. 
The most perfect device for public or private 
iUdio use, as good chimney comiection is all that 
required for perfect operation. The fuel, kerosene 
1, is easily obtained in all places. 
Being of tubular construction, so 
that a series of little firebrick flues form 
the wall of the oven, there is no chance 
for warping and going out of shape, as 
in the case of a flat brick wall. 
No plumbing, no gas 
bills, no flying back in the 
mixer, no escaping of un- 
healthful or disagreeable 
fumes into the room. 
This is our new No. 3 round kiln. 
The removable tubes by the door constitute 
the essential advantage of this kiln, as they make 
a complete circle of flame about the oven. They 
may be used or not, at the will of the firer, but 
are especially desirable when an even, strong 
heat is necessary for certain classes of work. 
Our Pottery Kilns are built on 
the same plan, with heavier construc- 
tion and Crane Hinge Doors. We 
have a smafl combination kiln for 
studio and craft work as well as 
school work, which cannot be surpassed 
We also make larger kilns, 
which will fire to any heat 
required for developing 
clay bodies or porcelain 
glazes. For the first time 
in the history of ceramics 
these kilns have made it 
possible for 
t h e a m a- 
teur to de- 
velop the 
highest 
g r ad e o f 
profession - 
al pottery. 
The radiation of 
heat into the interior 
is almost without loss, 
since the fire-brick 
forming the tubes is 
very thin. On the other hand, the 
fire-brick and heavy non-conduct- 
ing wall on the outside prevents 
the radiation of heat into the room 
so that the kiln can be fired with 
comfort. 
No. 6 (see below)— This is the most popular 
size for general studio use. No. 7 is for profes- 
sional
