Abstract
A framework for supporting ware to be kiln fired is constructed from a plurality of shelves or supporting arms which are engaged within horizontal slots in one or more vertical support posts. The shelves or supporting arms are secured to the support posts by locking pins which are inserted through apertures in the posts and shelves or support arms which apertures are aligned when the posts and shelves or support arms are properly engaged with one another. In an alternate embodiment, a supporting framework is constructed from vertical support members and support plates. Each vertical support member comprises a vertical support post preassembled with ware supporting arms which are interlocked to the post by a locking pin. Assembled vertical support members are received at either end by the support plates which include indentations for receiving the ends of the vertical support members.
