Glaeskeramik

Glaeskeramik, also known as glazed ceramics, refers to ceramic objects coated with a glass-like surface. This glazing process involves applying a silica-based material that, when fired at high temperatures, melts and bonds to the ceramic, creating a smooth, durable, and often decorative finish. Glaeskeramik enhances the aesthetic appeal of pottery and protects it from water and damage. It has been used historically in various cultures for both functional items like tableware and artistic purposes, combining practicality with beauty through the integration of glass-like surfaces onto ceramic forms.
