unglazed
Lacking glassy coating
Unglazed describes something without a glaze—a shiny coating or finish.
Unglazed pottery is matte and porous, lacking the glossy surface that seals and decorates ceramics: The unglazed terracotta absorbed water quickly.
Unglazed can also describe windows without glass panes, though this use is less common.
