2. Lead-glazed earthenware - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-glazed_earthenware

   Minton majolica game pie dish, lead-glazed earthenware, c. 1875, an iconic example of High Victorian appetite for innovation with humour/whimsy, coloured lead glazes. Lead-glazed earthenware is one of the traditional types of earthenware with a ceramic glaze, which coats the ceramic bisque body and renders it impervious to liquids, as ...

3. Lead glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_glass

   A high-lead glaze has a linear expansion coefficient of between 5 and 7×10 −6 /°C, compared to 9 to 10×10 −6 /°C for alkali glazes. Those of earthenware ceramics vary between 3 and 5×10 −6 /°C for non-calcareous bodies and 5 to 7×10 −6 /°C for calcareous clays, or those containing 15–25% CaO. [16] Therefore, the thermal ...

4. Galena - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galena

   Galena is the primary ore of lead, and is often mined for its silver content. [6] It is used as a source of lead in ceramic glaze. [27] Galena is a semiconductor with a small band gap of about 0.4 eV, which found use in early wireless communication systems.

5. Ceramic glaze - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_glaze

   Ceramic industries are reluctant to use lead alternatives since leaded glazes provide products with a brilliant shine and smooth surface. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has experimented with a dual glaze, barium alternative to lead, but they were unsuccessful in achieving the same optical effect as leaded glazes.

6. Ceramic flux - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_flux

   A ceramic flux functions by promoting partial or complete liquefaction. [1] [2] The most commonly used fluxing oxides in a ceramic glaze contain lead, sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, barium, zinc, strontium, and manganese. These are introduced to the raw glaze as compounds, for example lead as lead oxide.

7. Sancai - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sancai

   Sancai is a type of lead-glazed earthenware: lead oxide was the principal flux in the glaze, often mixed with quartz in the proportion of 3:1. [6] The polychrome effect was obtained by using as colouring agents copper (which turns green), iron (which turns brownish yellow), and less often manganese and cobalt (which turns blue).

8. Tin-glazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin-glazing

   Tin-glazing is the process of giving tin-glazed pottery items a ceramic glaze that is white, glossy and opaque, which is normally applied to red or buff earthenware. Tin-glaze is plain lead glaze with a small amount of tin oxide added. [1] The opacity and whiteness of tin glaze encourage its frequent decoration.

9. Creamware - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creamware

   Creamware is made from white clays from Dorset and Devon combined with an amount of calcined flint.This body is the same as that used for salt-glazed stoneware, but it is fired to a lower temperature (around 800 °C as opposed to 1,100 to 1,200 °C) and glazed with lead to form a cream-coloured earthenware.
