A matt glaze differs from a glossy one in that its surface

  • A.contains fine crystals that scatter reflected light
  • B.has been polished mechanically after it was finally fired
  • C.contains no silica of any kind whatever in it
  • D.was fired at a very much higher peak temperature

Answer: A

Correct answer: contains fine crystals that scatter reflected light

A matt glaze crystallises during cooling, and the small crystals at the surface scatter the light that a glossy glaze would reflect specularly. It is a deliberate result, obtained by composition - high alumina, or magnesia, calcium or zinc - and by controlled slow cooling, since fast cooling suppresses the crystallisation and leaves the same glaze glossy.
