This study is based on the Shihmen Reservoir silt, where the largest quantity of silt is deposited and is located right next to the National Taiwan University of Art, and with combinations of other simple components, like various kinds of clay, plant ashes or other raw materials, to produce quality glazes that can perform artistic charm and give great additional values. The development of the n...

luster glaze technique is, in fact, using luster glaze in painting and decorating on the glaze which is heated in reduced kiln as a third step. luster glaze is formation of a very thin layer of silver and copper nanoparticles with a metallic luster in different color range formed on the surface of the glaze during the third stage of heating in reduction condition. luster glazed art’s peak, in i...

We present the first nanoscale investigation of silica glaze. High resolution transmission electron microscopy of a rock coating from the Ashikule Basin, Tibetan Plateau, reveals the presence of spheroids composed predominantly of silicon and oxygen with diameters ranging from 20 nm to 70 nm. While silica glaze spheroids co-exist with manganese-rich rock varnish in the same sample, the differen...

Manganiferous rock varnish (desert varnish) is common in subtropical deserts, but coatings of amorphous silica glaze dominate rock surfaces of the same lithology and exposed to similar amounts of annual precipitation in the rain shadows of the large tropical shield volcanoes such as those in Hawaii. Lacking an explanation for this contrast, a two decade-long laboratory experiment tested importa...

achaemenid glazed bricks of archaeological excavation of tall-e-ajori in persepolis city were studied by multiple instrumental analysis methods  such as xrf, xrd, sem-eds, icp and optical microscopy to identify the compositional features of glaze and brick body. glaze samples are apparently white and yellow  and this phenomenon are caused by the deterioration processes in burial environment, he...

This paper examines inherent tensions between the medical glaze and that of an extended glaze, and the ways in which they historically have been brought out as conflicts over inspection schemes in the school medical service. Following an outline of two contrasting models of inspection, the empirical anallysis compares the early formation and shaping of inspection schemes in Britain and Norway.

with the development of the silk road in early islam, the pottery art of northern and north-eastern parts of iran were affected by imported chinese pottery. at that time, the most common way of glaze decoration in china was a method called “sancai” which found its way to iran through this business route and became a source of imitation for iranian artists. in this technique, known as glaze, the...
