| ABSTRACT |
|
The colorization of $Zn_2SiO_4$ crystal glazes was investigated by adding nucleating seeds with various coloring agents. The addition of color fixing agents such as $Fe_2O_3$, $MnO_2$, and NiO with seeds caused changes in the colors of glazes. The crystallinity and crystal size were dependent on glaze composition and firing schedules. By controlling coloring agents and firing schedules, it was possible to create various colors and sizes of crystals in a zinc-based crystalline glaze. |
