Ορισμός και Σημασία του "glazed"

What is "glazed"?

Glazed refers to a surface that has been covered with a smooth, shiny coating, commonly made from melted glass powder. This coating is applied to pottery, ceramics, and other objects to enhance their appearance or provide a protective finish. Glazing can add color, depth, and texture to the surface of an item, as well as make it more resistant to moisture, stains, and scratches. It is achieved by applying a layer of liquid glaze to the object before firing it in a kiln at high temperatures, causing the glaze to melt and form a hard, glassy coating. Glazed surfaces are valued for their beauty, durability, and ease of cleaning, making them popular in both functional and decorative items.
