What are the fired properties of glaze?

Fired properties of glaze include its appearance, texture, adhesion, and durability. Upon firing, glazes can develop various finishes, such as glossy, matte, or satin, affecting the aesthetic of the ceramic piece. The glaze must adhere well to the clay body to prevent flaking or chipping, and it should be durable enough to withstand daily use, including resistance to moisture and thermal shock. Additionally, fired glazes can exhibit variations in color and opacity, influenced by their chemical composition and firing temperature.
