What is a non-glossy glaze from art?

A non-glossy glaze, often referred to as a matte glaze, is a type of ceramic finish that has a smooth surface without any shine or reflective quality. This type of glaze is typically used to create a more subdued, earthy aesthetic in pottery and ceramics. Non-glossy glazes can enhance the texture and color of the clay body, providing a soft, muted appearance that is popular in various artistic styles. Additionally, these glazes can be less prone to showing fingerprints and imperfections compared to glossy finishes.
