What did Lime Glaze Formula look like?

Proto-celadon surfaces covered with a thin bluish-green vitreous layer that is glossy, dense, and non-absorbent.

How did Lime Glaze Formula work?

Plant ash (containing CaO, K₂O) + clay → mixed with water into glaze slurry → applied to greenware → high-temperature kiln firing → fluxes lower the SiO₂ melting point → vitreous glaze surface forms.

Lime Glaze Formula

Plant ash + porcelain clay synthesized into a vitreous glaze, using CaO and K₂O in the plant ash as fluxes to lower the glaze melting temperature.

石灰釉配

Scientific Principle

Glass chemistry: SiO₂ network former + CaO/K₂O network modifiers → lower glass transition temperature Tg.
