thrown on

Hastily put on

Thrown on describes pottery shaped quickly and spontaneously on a potter's wheel, often with visible marks of the process rather than refined finishing.

The phrase emphasizes speed or casualness: a thrown-on glaze, clothes thrown on in haste.

To throw something on is to add it quickly or without much deliberation: She threw on a jacket and ran out.
