the best way to get off a small bit of glaze off the base of a pot (like small bits from a kiln shelf) is to use a carborundum/sharpening stone and slowly grind it down

Can you fire a ceramic piece for a second time with another glaze that has already been fired once with glaze?
yes , u can put many laries of glazes over each other but u must know the firing temprature for each one and its chemical analysis To determine the outcome
What is clay that has been fired for permanence?
Glaze.
How do you get glaze to dry?
Most glazes should be air dried. However if you are using a glaze on ceramics, it will dry when it is placed in the kiln to be fired.
What cone is used in greenware firing?
Greenware is usually fired at cone 06 for bisque firing. The glaze firing depends on the maturation temperature of the clay and the glaze.
What is the liquid finish that is brushed onto pottery and fired in the kiln called?
Two materials fulfill the question. Decoration, and glazes. Decoration is usually applied to objects that have been fired, and this provides a good surface for fine detail. Some decoration is the application of an adhesive print. This is called an under glaze print. After decoration, the object will be dipped or sprayed by a glaze compound, then fired to fuse the glaze. Some objects have an 'over glaze' print applied, but this tends to be much less wear resistant.

Why is the bottom of the pottery not glazed?
Glaze is made of powdered silica and alumina and chemicals to make it melt at the right temperature. It is usally mixed with water to apply it to the pot. When it is heated to the right tempurature the glaze turns to liquid glass. If it is on the bottom of the pot then when it cools it will be permanently stuck to the kiln shelf it is sitting on. Some pots were fired on their rims insteand and the rims were covered with metal. Other pots are fired on stilts that touch the bottom of the pot in three points. In that case the bottom can be glazed and the stilt broken off. Some wood fired pots and salt glazed pots are put on wadding (small balls of high alumina clay) to keep them from sticking. Sometimes they still have to be ground clean of glaze. Other glazes like crystalline ones always run and must be put on high stilts and always ground clean in order to sit flat.
Can you re glaze all kinds of porcelain?
Depends on exactly what you mean ---- of course you cannot really remove the fired glaze and then apply another one but it is often possible to paint ceramic colours onto a fired item and then re-fire it. If its very old then there may be a problem with cracking of the pot or crazing of the glaze. In the end you just have to try it and hope for the best!
True or false you can apply any glaze before the clay has been fired first in the kiln?
