A coating of glass applied to a porous body to seal it against the penetration of liquids. Glazes are made by fusing silica and alumina, after a flux has been added to the silica to decrease its melting point.
Glazes consist of glassy or metallic chemicals which are painted onto a vessel surface. When fired, the chemicals in the glaze vitrify and create a glassy surface which strengthens the vessel body.
glass-like ceramic material applied over clay and fire to a suitable melting point.
To glaze is to coat a product to give it a shiny or glassy appearance. Many pastries are glazed with an egg/water mixture before baking; fruit tarts and small pastries are glazed with diluted and strained apricot preserves.
In ceramics, a vitreous (glass-like) coating which gives a decorative and impervious finish. Glazes can be matt or glossy, soft or hard, smoother textured, of varying opacity and colour. They are composed of a glass-forming ingredient (usually silica), a flux (to reduce the melting point of the silica), and alumina to help fix the glaze to the clay body. Glazing takes place either before firing (known as green or raw-glazing), or after the first, biscuit firing when the body has been hardened off. Lead glaze was perhaps the earliest manufactured glaze, known from 1700 bc, and using ground lead or lead oxide as the flux agent. The lead lent greater translucency and depth of colour to the glaze. It was used on earthenware and soft-paste porcelain in Europe until substituted in the 19thC by less toxic flux materials such as borax. See salt-glazed stoneware, tin-glazed earthenware. A smear glaze can be a deliberate, very light glaze applied to the marble-like parian ware, for example, or an unintentional coating of leftover glaze from a previous firing.

The root of the word is the same for glass. Most glazes have a glassy surface, both in appearance and composition, protecting the underglaze decoration without obscuring it. Beyond aesthetics, however, the glaze is functional, allowing porous earthenware to function as vitreous and to provide easily-cleaned surfaces.

A glaze is a glass-like coating applied to the surface of a ceramic body. On low-fired wares it may serve to make them impermeable, while on high-fired wares it is decorative.

A thin, translucent or transparent layer of lightly pigmented paint applied over an area of a painting, to add a veil of coloration. It also provides a tonal coherence across the image, especially when the tonal and chromatic contrast is dramatic. The technique of glazing has a long history and is an integral part of many methods of oil painting including grisaille where the work begins as a monochromatic image. The work is then developed through several layers of glazing and overpaintings.
A form of glass-like material applied over the body of ceramics ware which becomes smooth, hard and translucent after firing. With the addition of colorant, coloured glaze is produced for eg. with iron oxide, celdon color glaze is produced.

If your paint finish has minor imperfections or swirl marks, you can use a glaze to temporarily fill the micromarks in the paint. A glaze is typically a thin liquid, usually made of carnauba waxes and silicones, applied to the paint prior to waxing. Glazes dry fast and are usually easy to buff out by hand or machine.

A thin 'glassy' layer formed on the surface of fired ceramic. Glazes are a finely ground mixture of mineral and man-made powders tuned to melt and flow at a specific temperature. Many clays will melt well at high temperatures and thus qualify as 'slip' glaze. Glazes are often classified to designate type within a specific type of ceramic ware. Glaze has a random molecular structure which is the result of fast cooling, so crystals do not develop (the exception being Crystalline Glazes). For example; Granite cools slowly (geologically speaking) so we can easily see the crystals in polished granite, glaze cools quickly so the molecules do not have a chance to crystallise. Its high viscosity means it does not run off the pot.

A mixture of various materials and colorants, which are ground into a fine powder, mixed with water, and applied to ceramic pieces. This mixture, when exposed to high temperature during firing will melt and vitrify, thereby forming a glass-like surface that is fused onto the ceramic piece. Glazes can be applied to dried unfired ceramics (greenware), or to ceramics that have been already been fired. Some complex pieces involve various cycles of glazing and firing to produce the artist's intended effect. Glazes are usually referred to by the temperature, or cone, at which they melt. For example, a cone 10 glaze, which is a high-fire glaze. High-fire glazes tend to be more durable, but have less color, whereas low-fire glazes are more colorful but are less durable, and intermediate glazes provide a good compromise. When purchasing ceramic pieces, it is important to consider the type of glaze in terms of food safety, durability, and fit with the underlying claybody. See also claybody, glaze fit, high-temp glaze, intermediate glaze, low-temp glaze.
