Roland,
I have a good book on Roman Pottery entitled..Roman Pottery by Peacock.
I have referenced it in some of my anthropological papers.
Good book.

Correct me if I'm wrong, was not Egyptian Paste considered to be the first
example of a "glazed piece", with possibly a lead glaze?

I've found a site which answers my question about whether Romans used lead
glaze:
http://www.potsherd.uklinux.net/
Evidently they did though it seems that slip or terra sig. was more common,
neither of which would be technically glazes, am I right? And certainly
there was lead glaze before the Romans. I don't suppose they would have
claimed credit for the gates of Ishtar, I think they were more bothered
about preserving their chastity from the Etruscans round 500 BC.

Jeff,
If I remember correctly, Egyptian Paste is self glazing because of the
mineral salts in the composition of the clay. I don't recall lead having a
presence.
Thank you.

I'd agree with calling it glazed ceramics, although the
folks who want to limit the question to 'applied glazes'
have reason to make that distinction.
No lead in Egyptian paste, though.
