Dakua resin are used to glaze pots and for lighting, its colour is light amber. The glazing are (is) done while pots are rarasea (very hot).

The pot is left to dry in the wind but out of the direct rays of the sun, the centre of the vessel being covered by a piece of breadfruit leaf. The pot is left in this state until the exposed portion is strong. The pot is left in this state until the exposed portion is no longer pulpy, and is then inverted and work resumed.

The potter uses a flat stick for patting to shape. The tools used for patting are: mallet (tala) to smoothen the surface both inside out. As patting process continues water is frequently applied to the work by dipping the blade of the tool into a basin of water and rubbing the surface of the stone which is held as a counterpoise inside the pot with the blade. Water is occasionally sprinkled upon the pot itself, this prevents the tools from sticking to the clay.

Firewood are collected such as coconut fronds, coconut husks and split bamboo. A bed of firewood is then prepared, allowing enough room for the number of pots to be fired. Pot are carefully nested on the bed, with more firewood carefully mounted on the pots, leaving gaps so that air can penetrated and allow the fire to burn. It is important to conduct firing on a dry, cool day. Pots are fetched the next day then displayed. The unique characteristics of terracotta clay show its dark reddish colors. A smoky shaping appears here and there over the smooth body of the terracotta clay pot.

Pottery making was a social obligation and provided household equipment and utensils. Bowls were made in various sizes, and vessels and differing functions, such as serving and storing food and beverages. However, for the village of Nakoro, at the district of Noikoro, Nadroga Navosa, they only make cooking pots, and are still used today for cooking.
