Dear Wanda Holmes,=20

I think this is a "StarTrek" type question. You are going forth =
boldly..... The answers to your inquiry are not known.

May I ask a question. How are we able to tell if a glaze which comes out =
of the kiln matt or opaque has formed a fully vitreous solution? In =
other words, can we distinguish between a fused sample which contains =
undissolved ingredients and one where there are microcrystalline =
inclusions?=20

Best regards,

Ivor Lewis
