Glazing is one of the most critical procedures in ceramic plate manufacturing. Glaze not only gives ceramic plates color and shine, but also makes the product stronger, more waterproof, and safe to use.
As a professional ceramic tableware manufacturer, LovingHome possesses multiple mature glazing techniques to satisfy the diversified product design and functional requirements. Here, let’s introduce some of the glazing techniques for ceramic plates.
Why Glaze Ceramic Plates?
- Protective function: The glaze layer prevents the penetration of liquids, blocking water absorption, deformation, or cracking of the plate.
- Aesthetic value: Through altering the color and techniques of the glaze, tableware can possess rich color gradients and unique artistic textures.
- Food safety: The glaze layer, after high-temperature firing, becomes smooth and pore-free, preventing food residue buildup and facilitating easier cleaning, in compliance with international tableware safety standards.
- Market value: Multiplexed glazing techniques enhance product differentiation and competitiveness, allowing brands to expand their market influence better.
Common Glazing Techniques For Ceramic Plates
Dipping Glaze
Dipping is the most traditional and widely used technique. The fired ceramic plate blank is fully immersed in glaze slurry, ensuring an even coating of glaze on the surface.
Features:
- Stable process, high efficiency
- Suitable for large-scale production
- Even glaze finish, achieving a clean and elegant effect
Spraying Glaze Process
A high-pressure spray gun is used to evenly apply the glaze slurry to the surface of the ceramic plate.
Features:
- Flexible control, enabling localized or gradient effects
- Suitable for complex-shaped dinnerware
- Meets modern design requirements for gradient colors and special textures
Hand Glazing
Glaze is applied by hand by artisans, commonly used for artistic ceramic plate designs.
Features:
- Each piece is unique
- Can achieve intricate textures or special decorations
- Suitable for high-end customization and limited-edition tableware
Pouring Glaze / Flowing Glaze
Glaze slurry is directly poured onto the ceramic plate surface, allowing it to flow naturally to create unique textural effects.
Features:
- Natural glaze color variations with artistic appeal
- Each product’s texture is slightly different
- Commonly used for vintage-style or kiln-change style tableware
Reactive Glaze Technique
Through chemical reactions in a high-temperature kiln, the glaze undergoes natural color changes.
Features:
- Presents gradient, speckled, or star-like effects
- Each piece is uniquely artistic
- A highly popular style in the current food service market and home retail sector
Industry Trends: The Market Value of Glaze Techniques
- Reactive glaze and gradient-colored tableware: Rapidly gaining popularity in European, American, and Asian markets in recent years, with extensive popularity among restaurants, cafes, and home retailers.
- Environmental and health concerns: The market is increasingly focusing on the safety of tableware glazes, particularly eco-friendly standards such as lead-free and cadmium-free.
