Glaze

A glaze is a thin, often shiny, coating that is applied to the surface of ceramics before firing. Glazes can be clear or opaque, and can produce a wide variety of surface effects. Glaze recipes typically include materials like silica, alumina, and kaolin, which are fused together by firing at high temperatures.

The history of glaze recipes is long and complex, and has been shaped by a variety of factors. Early glazes were often made from local materials, and were often quite simple. As trade routes opened up and new materials became available, glaze recipes became more complex.

The invention of porcelain in China was a major turning point in the history of glazes. Porcelain is a white, translucent ceramic that is highly prized for its beauty and durability. To achieve the desired properties, porcelain must be fired at very high temperatures, which posed a challenge for early Chinese potters.
