Italian term or phrase: essiccamento a verde
La zona a contatto con lo stampo avrebbe un impasto molta duro e secco, mentre nella restante porzione di spessore sarebbe molle ed eccessivamente umido.
Questa situazione costituisce un grave problema durante la successiva fase di **essiccamento a verde** e può pregiudicare l’integrità del pezzo colato.

drying of greenware/green ware
Explanation:
greenware /green ceramics are unfired

Unfired "green ware" pottery on a traditional drying rack...

The atmosphere within a kiln during firing can affect the appearance of the finished wares. An oxidising atmosphere, produced by allowing air to enter the kiln, can cause the oxidation of clays and glazes. A reducing atmosphere, produced by limiting the flow of air into the kiln, can strip oxygen from the surface of clays and glazes. This can affect the appearance of the wares being fired and, for example, some glazes containing iron fire brown in an oxidising atmosphere, but green in a reducing atmosphere. The atmosphere within a kiln can be adjusted to produce complex effects in glaze.

Asker: Drying green chillies? Are you serious?!

Asker: Yes, you can say 'drying green chillies'. How does that help me exactly?

Asker: Green is a colour. You can dry lots of green things: green socks, green plates, green beans. I am talking about casting ceramics.

little more context. The moulòds (basins, bidets etc.) are cast and dryed in green sand to protect them from cracking and deforming

Reference: Can this info help?

Reference information:
The process is called 'essiccazione del verde' here

'green = verde (oggetto formato che dovrà essere sinterizzato)
casting = colaggio
drying = essiccazione (del verde)'
(www.sglavo.it/Contacts/STMC/AA09-10/lez05a.pdf)

'La fase che segue la formatura è quella dell’essiccazione, necessaria per rimuovere i liquidi presenti nel verde. Il processo è assai delicato sia dal punto di vista fisico (il liquido deve passare lentamente in fase vapore altrimenti l’aumento di volume causato dal passaggio in fase gassosa provoca
rottura nel verde;...'
