ashlar. 1. Class of
masonry consisting of blocks of accurately dressed, cut, squared, and finished stone (the Roman
opus quadratum), faced and with clean sharp
arrises, forming perfect courses, laid in mortar. It is contrasted with
rubble. Thin slabs of similar masonry, used as a facing to a brick wall or as paving slabs, were also termed
ashlar, although
bastard ashlar is preferred. Finished work featuring the
faces of each stone projecting beyond the line of the joints is
rustication, or rusticated ashlar, and can be of several types.
2. Large clay-based block larger than a brick, such as
faïence or
terracotta (US).
