glazed ceramics
Coated fired clay
Glazed ceramics are pottery or clay objects that have been coated with a glassy substance and fired in a kiln, producing a smooth, often shiny surface that is waterproof and decorative.
The glaze—a mixture of silica, fluxes, and colorants—fuses to the ceramic body during firing, creating effects ranging from glossy to matte, transparent to opaque.
Common examples include dinnerware, tiles, and decorative vases.
The museum's collection featured glazed ceramics from ancient China.
