- Feldspar (glaze on Porcelain) - A feldspar glaze on porcelain is made from feldspar, a mineral that when melted and mixed with other ingredients creates a glossy, glass-like coating. When applied to porcelain, the feldspar glaze provides a hard, durable and protective surface that is resistant to wear, staining and other forms of damage. Additionally, feldspar glazes can also enhance the appearance of porcelain by creating a smooth, even surface with a range of colours and finishes.
- Crazing - A network of fine cracks in the glaze of a ceramic item, caused by uneven shrinking during the firing process.
- Incised - A record of a name, date or inscription, or a decoration scratched into a surface, usually of a glass or ceramic item with a blunt instrument to make a coarse indentation. Compare with engraving where the surface is cut with a sharp instrument such as a metal needle or rotating tool to achieve a fine indentation.
