Firing characteristics of a group of thirteen clay‐flint‐feldspar porcelain bodies were studied. Firing shrinkage, porosity, and rate of deformation were determined on specimens of all bodies fired at a series of temperatures, thus observing the rate of vitrification and subsequent fluidity of each of the bodies in question. Cross‐breaking strength tests were made in order to ascertain the relation of composition and firing temperature to mechanical strength.
