ceramic glazes
Fired surface coverings
Ceramic glazes are glassy coatings applied to pottery and other ceramic objects, then fused through high-temperature firing.
The glaze creates a smooth, often decorative surface that makes porous clay waterproof and easier to clean.
Glazes vary widely in color, texture, and finish—from glossy to matte, transparent to opaque.
The potter experimented with new ceramic glazes to achieve a deep blue finish.
