The cone 6 porcelain mug on the left was successfully green glazed by first pouring the inside (using a dipping glaze) and allowing that to dry thoroughly. The lip was then waxed and the excess glaze that went over it was trimmed off. Finally, the outside was glazed by dipping the rim and then turning it over and dipping down to the rim. The mug on the right was glazed on the inside and outside at the same time (by pouring, then dipping). As a result, it was over-whetted and the body laminated within and bubbled during drying. An alternative method would be to use a brushing glaze, applying it one coat at a time and drying that thoroughly before the next.

Once fire glazing
Refers to the practice of firing ceramics in one firing (rather than two) to produce a fully glazed product. This practice requires more technical expertise. |
