glaze stability

Glaze stability refers to how well a ceramic glaze maintains its appearance and structure over time without cracking, peeling, or reacting negatively. Stable glazes are chemically balanced and properly formulated to withstand factors like heat, cooling, and environmental exposure. When stable, they form a smooth, durable surface that remains consistent, enhancing both the durability and aesthetic of the ceramic piece. Achieving glaze stability involves controlling the composition, melting properties, and firing conditions to ensure the glaze bonds effectively with the substrate and remains resilient during use and aging.
