This article indicates the results obtained by introducing into a porcelain mixture an unstable nonplastic aggregate, consisting chemically of alumina, silica, and a fluxing oxide, which latter has been heat‐treated in such a manner that its crystallization has been arrested. Upon subsequent kiln Wing, crystallization takes place and the arrested crystals grow, orienting themselves in such a manner as to form a network of interwoven crystals. The effect of this crystallization improves the physical properties of the porcelain.
