Glaze Skips and Thin Glaze on Stoneware: Common Issues or Defects?

In summary, "glaze skips" are areas on a glazed dish where the glaze did not fully cover the surface, leaving patches of exposed clay or a lighter color. They can occur due to uneven application of glaze, air bubbles in the glaze, or defects in the clay body. While glaze skips are safe to use for cooking, they may cause uneven cooking or browning in some areas. Unfortunately, glaze skips cannot be fixed once the dish has been glazed and fired, but you can try to prevent them by ensuring an even application of glaze and avoiding air bubbles. Our policy allows for returns or exchanges within a certain time frame, but we cannot guarantee that the replacement dish will not have glaze skips, as

I just received my oval baker today that I had ordered on kit enhancement. It's got a few glaze skips and pinhole bubbles...is this a normal problem with the glazed stoneware? In fact, the glaze looks rather thin, compared to the glaze on the small oval baker from my starter kit. Is this a defect, or is this just the norm?

Many thanks!

Ann,
I'd do a product adjustment and ask for a new one, they probably will ask for that one back, it's not right if it's "thin" in places.

I had a hostess return one to me, that had I little itty bitty spot out of the glaze and they replaced it NO ?? asked.

HTH,

Lisa

Thanks, Lisa! I think I'll do just that....but I think I'll wait until Monday when the rest of my order should arrive. That way if I have any other problems I can address them all at once!Ann
