Abstract

The application of glaze not only imparts a distinctive visual impact but also enhances the strength of ceramic. The procurement of raw materials for glaze preparation incurs significant costs. In contrast, waste glass has the potential to serve as a viable alternative to ceramic surface treatment. Glass possesses comparable characteristics to glaze, which is derived from a substance composed of silica (SiO2). The cost-effectiveness and diverse colour range of waste glass have been observed. The present composition aims to elucidate the investigation into the viability of waste glass as a substitute substance for glaze in the realm of ceramic art.
