Copper is the base for the color green in pottery glazes. Compounds such as copper sulfates can be made in a test tube by heating sulfur powder mixed with copper powder(preferable) or filings. Crushing the residual compound in the test tube and adding it to a glaze base should work.
Note: I have also used of all things, MiracleGro. It too has a copper compound in it and it has been used as a pottery glaze. I learned of this technique on YouTube. It does work and can be safely used. It also does not produce sulfurous vapors as in the first formulation.
Celadon
Does Marcrest have lead in its glazed pottery ware for the kitchen?
no idea! lol. :)
Green glaze is a type of ceramic finish that is characterized by its glossy green color. It is commonly used in pottery and tile-making to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the surface while also providing a protective layer. The green hue can vary widely, ranging from pale mint to deep forest shades, depending on the specific materials and firing techniques used during the glazing process. Green glaze not only adds visual interest but can also influence the texture and durability of the finished piece.
It is a term used in pottery when you color your pots or creation with a glaze.
Celadon
The celadon green is a glaze on white porcelain--so a bisque firing, then a glaze firing for a total of 2 if other decorations are added.

Well, there are to types of glaze, one is for food, one is for pottery. Sweet food glaze is usually made of water mixed with something else, such as powdered sugar. The glaze used for pottery makes it so that bacteria doesn't grow on it as much, it also makes it more durable. I don't remember what it's made of.
There can be. Some pottery (and some glazes) use lead and that can be hazardous.
Its origin is the old Italian word porcellana, which means 'snail shell'. Apparently the glaze of the pottery reminded them of a similar glaze of those shells.
It is usually green or brownish,greyish.
Most transition metals form coloured compounds so they can be used in pottery glazes of various colours. E.g weathered copper which is green hope it helps
