<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Potteryplease, post: 11536985, member: 16407&quot;]The so-called &#039;black on black&#039; Pueblo pottery does not traditionally use any glaze. The raw clay vessel is burnished, making it shiny, then designs are painted on using a &#039;slip&#039;-- a mixture of water and other clay. After firing, the shiny part shows through the duller, matte parts painted on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>At Santa Clara Pueblo, where the local clay tended to be thicker and heavier, sometimes leading to broken pots during firing, potters started incising designs into the clay. That&#039;s probably what you&#039;re thinking of here. </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, there wasn&#039;t a &#039;glaze&#039; used. Does it look like yours does in fact have a glaze?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
