It is usually important to match the clay and glaze temperatures to prevent glazes peeling, cracking etc. Also, use the glaze manufacturer recommended temperature - if you can please visit us to see sample tiles to see what thickness and temperature can do. Generally Earthenware is fired below 1100oC and Stoneware is fired above 1100oC - mostly above 1200/1220oC+ to get a true oxide colour reaction.

Careful Bisque Firing is Vital

If you regularly get glaze fire problems such as pin holing, underglazes peeling, glaze blister, bloating and pieces splitting open it could be down to too fast a bisque fire.

Gasses are produced during the bisque firing and if the firing rate is too fast these gasses can get trapped and then when you glaze fire they reacte again and try to get out any way they can - sometimes just leaving behind pin holes and some times peeling off glazes and splitting the ware.


Ensure you wipe down all the salts after a bisque fire as they can block pores stopping the glaze from sticking and they can reboil making pinholes at best and peeling off the glaze at worst. Especially clean the edges of a piece where the stress on glazes can be the greatest.


Advantage of soaks and controlled cooling

We often see orange peel, pinholes, blisters when customers fire fast, have short soaks and no controlled cooling - the bubbling of the glaze often does not have time to go smooth and gasses finish being released if not a gentle firing rate, short soak and no controlled cooling. It is rare to do a controlled cool but if fast firing it is worth considering - max 50oC per hour for first 100oC of cooling for example.
