A bstract Variations in the fluid properties of glazes produced by different bodies were studied, and several methods for testing the wetting ability of the glazes were compared. An angle‐of‐contact method was found best for measuring the ability of glazes to wet bodies. It was found that different bodies had varying effects on the fluid properties of a glaze. The maturing temperatures of a glaze are not fixed for a given glaze but may vary as much as four cones on different bodies, if wetting ability is considered in determining this temperature.
