### glazed ceramic dishes (glaze)
The glass-like, colourless or coloured (with metal oxides) transparent (lead glazing) or non-transparent (tin glaze) cover or decoration of ceramic dishes. After glazing the object, which was burnt at the proper temperature, will have a gleaming surface, its solidity will increase, and it will be suitable for keeping fluids in it as the tiny holes of the material are filled with the glazing. Hungarian potters knew led glazing since the late Middle Ages. Tin glazing became popular only in the 16-17th century with the mediation of the Habans. TI
