What is the glaze used on pottery?
Glaze that is on pottery or ceramics is actually Glass. It is applied in it's raw form, as a liquid soluble on to the clay, and then fired in a kiln. At the proper heat, the glaze melts and reacts with the gases in the clay and flows. When proper maturity is reached for the glaze, the kiln is powered off and allowed to cool slowly. Glaze is used to seal and decorate the Pottery/Ceramic piece. There are many types of Glazes, but the most 2 popular types are Over Glaze and Under Glaze. Under Glaze, is mostly coloured clay, and its use is primarily for decorative designs. It is fired so that it is set and permanent to the clay, and then over glaze, perhaps Clear to seal the piece and in a second glaze firing. There is much much more to this, but this is as concise an answer for the question.
