Abstract

Work done on uranium glazes from the beginning of this century to the time of World War II, when the use of uranium compounds was banned for non-strategic use in most countries, is reviewed. Glazes were formulated using sodium diuranate as the colourant. Satisfactory bright vermillion shades were obtained which exhibited uniform results under conditions of commercial artware production. The high lead content of these glazes, however, precluded their use on tableware. Further work to improve the acid resistance of these glazes is suggested.
