Glaze & Engobes

Masks the fired colour of the ceramic body so the engobe should be as white as possible:

• Creates a smooth and flat surface ready for the glaze application
• Promotes the coupling between the glaze and the body with the right thermal expansion
• Avoids bad reactions between the body and the glaze.

The glaze is the “dress” of ceramicware; its main purposes are:

• Coating the body: provides impermeability, hygienic properties, is easy to clean
• Protection: give resistance to chemical agents and scratches
• Fashion: give desire aesthetic effects
