Question: Is it possible to glaze a ceramic piece like this!?
The link shows a piece that is classified as stoneware, different then earthenware!? (I am working with earthenware)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
the difference between stoneware and earthenware is the temperature at which it is fired!. You have to use glazes which fit your clay body you are using!. You can get the same effect using different glazes!. If you like the particular colors, look if you find similar colors, if you just like the technique, you can do this with any glazes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

stoneware fires at a much, much higher temperature than earthenware (about 2300 F)

Where do you currently get your glazes from!? You could buy something similar, or mix your own if you have access to some raw oxides!.

Your question needs to be more specific!.!. do you want those colours, or the way it runs or what!? If you want those exact glazes, you'll have to work with stoneware!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
