Dear Lee Love,
There are many traditions.
For example, in late medieval times it was not unusual to take a pot
form the wheel and, while the surface was still wet, dust the pot with
Galena. The pots were then fired.
You might find details of methods used in "The Ceramic Art of Great
Britain", Llewellynn Jewitt.
Oxley Grabham in "Yorkshire Potteries. Pots and Potters" does not
delve into the technology of the industrial crafts.
The collection of article assembled by Diana and J, Garrison
Stradling and published as "Art of the Potter" confirms using raw lead
glazes and single firing. See "TheExeter Pottery Works", F. H. Norton.
pp 60-63.
If you dig a bit more I am sure you would confirm that this was a
popular process.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
Redhill,
S. Australia.

I think this is an important point. Earthenware is not the same as
stoneware.
Does anybody know? Was traditional glazed earthernware ever
single fired?
