glazed pottery
Coated fired clay
Glazed pottery is ceramic ware coated with a glassy substance that has been fired to create a smooth, often shiny surface.
The glaze makes pottery waterproof and easier to clean, while also allowing for decorative colors and finishes: The museum displayed ancient glazed pottery from the Han dynasty.
The term encompasses everything from functional dinnerware to decorative art pieces.
