- 6. clay kaolinitic sedimentary clays that commonly consist of 20–80% kaolinite, 10–25% mica, 6–65% quartz
- 7. an earthy material that is plastic when moist but hard when fired
- 8. ware clay prepared but not fired
- 11. where the molten glaze withdraws into 'islands 'leaving bare clay patches
- 13. the phenomenon that produces a network of fine cracks on the surface of a material
- 14. blows This is caused when clay bricks contain small amounts of lime
- 16. a fault that can occur during the firing of ceramic articles
- 17. dry Refers to clay which is ready to be fired
- 18. a firing strategy that lowers the risk of lime spalling
- 19. dunts ware cooled too quickly after it has been fired

Down
- 1. ware ware that is cracked due to the stresses of uneven expansion and/or contraction
- 2. inversions refers to the sudden volume change in crystalline quartz particles experience
- 3. refers to how flexible a clay or clay body is
- 5. refers to a specific stage during the drying of a pot or other clay object
- 7. dunts cracking that occurs in fired ceramic bodies as a result of a thermally induced stress
- 8. makes it expand and increases its weight
- 9. ware biscuit refers to any pottery that has been fired in a kiln without a ceramic glaze
- 10. when they dry because of particle packing that occurs as inter-particle water evaporates
- 12. ware an impervious layer or coating of a vitreous substance which has been fused to a ceramic body through firing
- 15. clay clay that usually owes its reddish color to oxide of iron
- 17. body term used to describe the color of a non-vitreous or semi-vitreous oxidation fired clay that has enough iron to take away its claim to being white yet not enough to make it a ten burning
- 18. glaze defect that results in tiny flakes of glaze peeling off edges of ceramic ware
- 20. caused by a fault in a solid pottery material, such as dry clay, bisque and fired glazes
