In a Parsendorf near Jodhpur (Rajasthan, India) is a special type of wheel is used. This "needle bearing" potter's wheels were already in use in Mesopotamia 4000 years BC. Similar pottery wheels were also found in Japan. 
is original to point out a thesis: "
" The material for pottery wheels from later centuries varies by stone on wood, clay and clay to composite materials. Of found in India remains a great potter's wheel was reconstructed, the image is in [drawing links] shown. The ring-shaped flywheel consists of clay, in the tangential direction are placed in bamboo rings. In addition, the inertia of wooden spokes is connected to the axle. This construction is in terms of today's fiber composite flywheels almost visionary.
In September 2008 I was about half an hour's drive away from Jodhpur in a Parsendorf presented a variant of this potter's wheel in stone:
The design of the wheel is relatively simple:
-
A relatively heavy stone disc, which is hollowed out below, so that the bulk of the disc at the periphery of the disk is concentrated. Maybe the disc is also made of concrete?
-
takes a small slice as a support in the middle of a cone-shaped Dorn als "Nadellager" auf. Wie das Bild links zeigt, scheint man für den Lagerdorn die verschiedensten Materialien adaptiert zu haben. Hier dürfte es sich um ein ausgedientes Getrieberitzel (?) handeln.
Die Gebrauchskeramin (Töpfe und Wasserbehälter) werden im Hof gelagert. Bemerkenswert ist die Art, wie diese Parsen, die ehemals aus Persien kamen und in Indien seßhaft wurden, ihre Nebengebäude gestalten. Die kleine Hütte besteht einerseits from vertically placed stone slabs, the other, of mud walls, in the water jars (? faulty media?) are installed. The roof is made of straw.
relatively "modern" seems the kiln.
