unglaze

Strip the shine

To unglaze is to remove glaze from something—typically a window or ceramic surface.

Windows are unglazed when their glass panes are taken out; pottery might be unglazed by stripping its glossy coating.

More often, unglazed describes things that never had glaze applied: unglazed terra-cotta pots, an unglazed window frame open to the elements.
