Abstract
A process for glazing a chinaware article by forming a chinaware article having a bottom including a glazed foot and a dry foot. The glazed foot extends downwardly from the bottom to a point below the dry foot. A glaze is applied to the formed article so that the glaze is applied to the glazed foot and the dry foot is substantially free of the glaze. The article is supported on a supporting device so that the dry foot engages the device and the glazed foot is exposed. The article is heated to mature the article including the glaze. A glazed chinaware article is produced in the process.
