I am looking for data on salt and soda glazes:

Specifically I would like references or leads to data in any of these
categories:

Oxide composition of the glaze layer formed on the ware.

Mineral identification of the glaze or flashing formed on the ware.

Chemical durability of the surface created by salt and soda glaze
processes. How resistant is the surface to acids, bases.

Wearability of the surface created by salt and soda glaze processes=
.

Surface hardness using a quantified scale such as mohs.

Nominal thickness of the glazed surface.

On list or off list is OK.
