A bstract A study has been made of the fusion characteristics of feldspar, flint, kaolin, and whiting used in glaze compositions with zine oxide and various opacifiers. The fusion characteristics of tin oxide, Opax, Zircopax, and various combinations of opacifiers are given. All heat‐treatments mentioned are at cone 12. Isoviscosity triaxial diagrams show the fields of good glazes in each series, and the rclative effects of composition changes on the physical properties are outlined.
