Metallic compounds are useful as colored glazes due to their ability to absorb and reflect specific wavelengths of light, which results in various colors. The transition metal ions, such as chromium, cobalt, and copper, can exhibit different oxidation states and coordination environments, leading to a wide range of vibrant colors. Additionally, the stability of these compounds at high temperatures ensures that the colors remain intact during the glazing process. Their compatibility with various ceramic materials further enhances their utility in creating aesthetically appealing finishes.

Pottery glazes are typically composed of various chemical compounds, such as silica, alumina, fluxes (e.g. feldspar or boron), colorants (e.g. oxides or stains), and modifiers (e.g. clay or talc). The specific composition of a glaze depends on the desired effect and firing temperature, as different compounds contribute to qualities like color, texture, and durability.
Lead is used as a coloring element in ceramic glazes, notably in the colors red and yellow. It USED TO be used in pencils but now they are made with graphite.
they are applyed to a wet surface then yh

She baked several coffee cakes with different glazes on top.Please shovel the driveway before it glazes over with ice.
Chromic acid is used in ceramic glazes and colored glass and it can also be mixed with sulfuric acid and used as an oxidizing agent to clean glassware in labs.
Most glazes contain toxic materials before they are fired. That is why it is best to use a mask when spraying and to not eat around liquid glazes. Once the glazes are fired however, they are no longer dangerous with the exception of glazes that contain lead frit. These are usually labelled "not for use with food".

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
Zirconium is commonly used in nuclear reactors for its resistance to corrosion. It is also used in ceramics, refractory materials, and as an opacifier in glazes and enamels. In addition, zirconium compounds are used in catalysts, propellants, and in the production of high-performance alloys.
