Abstract

This invention is directed to the production of glazes exhibiting an earthenware appearance which are particularly suitable for decorating ceramic dinnerware. The glaze composition consists essentially of about 4-8% by weight SnO.sub.2 and 4-8% by weight TiO.sub.2, the total SnO.sub.2 +TiO.sub.2 being about 10-14%, and about 0.025-0.04% by weight MnO.sub.2 incorporated into a base frit consisting essentially, as analyzed in weight percent on the oxide basis, of about ______________________________________ SiO.sub.2 37-49 Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 4-7 B.sub.2 O.sub.3 6.5-11 ZrO.sub.2 0-1.75 Na.sub.2 O 1.75-3.5 K.sub.2 O 0.75-2.5 PbO 21-32 CdO 0-0.75 CaO 1-9 TiO.sub.2 0-0.35 F 0-0.6 ______________________________________ The fired glaze contains crystallites of rutile and cassiterite.
