It is well known that among terra cotta colored glazes, chromium greens and chrometin pinks are the most susceptible to crazing. This is, no doubt, due to the absence of ZnO from the RO. In an endeavor to introduce into the glaze composition some material of low coefficient of expansion, the natural lithia‐bearing mineral lepidolite was tried with fairly satisfactory results.
