A bstract A description is given of difficulties encountered in a pottery manufacturing semi‐vitreous ware following a change‐over from natural to manufactured gas. Laboratory investigations showed that exposure to traces of reducing gases for very short periods in the glost firing produced blistered ware and that decalcomania decoration was given a mat appearance when it was exposed to traces of sulfur compounds in the range of 1200° to 1600°F.
