A sandy or gritty finish .
Grog gives the clay strength and can give a rough gritty finish.
Grog gives the clay a course texture and adds strength. It can also be textured further with the use of a fine hacksaw blade at the leather hard stage The courser the grog the more interesting the texture
Grog gives a gritty texture when it has been fired and gives the composition a stronger fix.
