A salt glaze is formed by

  • A.adding salt to the clay body before it is formed
  • B.cooling the fired ware in a bath of molten salt
  • C.introducing salt into the kiln at high temperature
  • D.dipping the ware into a strong brine solution first

Answer: C

Sodium chloride volatilises and reacts with the silica of the body surface to form a thin glaze in place. The characteristic orange-peel texture comes from the reaction happening on the surface rather than from an applied layer.
