Abstract
The ancient Indian glazed pottery, which is often termed as northern black polished ware (NBPW), has a high lustrous finishing and it is closely related to the second urbanization in the Indian subcontinent. In this communication, an attempt has been made to review previous research related to manufacturing technology, especially the surface gloss and firing process, using SEM and EDS techniques. The objective of this communication is to address some of the problems relating to technological competence thus achieved at that point of time. NBPW was a specialized craft in ancient India, the competence of which gradually evolved.
