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.

Where can you find Pottery Barn's Spice Route fabric?
I don't think this is available from Pottery Barn anymore. You can buy tablecloths in this fabric from other sellers such as eBay. Also, there is a very expensive Brunswig and Fils fabric, Beauport Promenade, which is a glazed chintz, but almost identical to Spice Route.
