If you are really unlucky, or lucky depending on your point of view. Araldite is better, but to be honest, mugs are so cheap, best not to bother.

The firing regime can be just a light one first, I always found handles attached here wre rock solid, but tended to crack if the first firing was done with them glued on. No I have no technical reason, maybe I was just bad at attaching handles... grin

Pugmill, usually shortened to just pug, and the extrusion process would be known as 'pugging'. But in the big pottery factories like Wedgwood or Doulton, they'd use a de-airing pug. This would be a two-stage affair, with a vacuum chamber between the two stages.

Unfired pots that have their handles fixed on with clay slip get fired afterwards. I bet he didn't do that...
Or teach use of Google ....
