These properties can change if fired at different temperature. Few clay properties differ between handmade and wheel-thrown pieces, so here's more data for clarity.

1. Hand building fired @ Cone 6 (1223 Deg C), 30 minutes hold:

Dry Shrinkage	6-7 %
Fired Shrinkage	5-6 %
Final Shrinkage	12-13%
Absorption	0-1 %

2. Wheel throwing fired @ Cone 6 (1223 Deg C), 30 minutes hold: :

Dry Shrinkage	7-8 %
Fired Shrinkage	6-7 %
Final Shrinkage	13-14%
Absorption	0-1 %

Additional Information:

Dry shrinkage is determined by measuring the reduction in shrinkage after the manufacturing stage to the bone-dried stage.
Firing shrinkage is determined by measuring the reduction in shrinkage after the bone-dried stage to the final fired stage (Cone 6)
Absorption is also called as porosity of a clay body
Bloating might occur when it fired beyond cone 6, 1223 Deg C

Drop - Hold firing schedule (at 1180 Deg C) might eliminate the pin holing defects in the glazed articles

Notes:

Testing the glaze with the clay body is recommended due to the elevated Iron content, ensuring the compatibility
The drying and overall shrinkage of wheel-thrown articles can differ based on the water content used while making
