See below: Salt glaze is a ceramic process that creates a distinctive glaze on pottery by introducing salt into a kiln during the firing process How it worksSalt is vaporized in the kiln's fire, creating a salty atmosphere that reacts with the clay and glaze. This reaction produces a glassy coating of sodium silicate that gives the pottery its distinctive texture and appearance. TextureThe glaze has a texture similar to orange peel or crater-like markings. On a sanded body, the glaze can have a coarse orange peel texture, while on a smooth clay body it can have a subtle luster. HistoryThe technique originated in Germany around 1400 and spread across Europe to England and Colonial America. KilnsSalt glazing is only possible in high-fire gas or wood-fired kilns that can reach temperatures over 2300°F 4. This is a original 1st Edition.
