Özet
This study describes the microstructural and chemical characteristics of luster glazes applied to white clay and chamotte clay bodies using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Surface and cross-sectional analyses were performed to evaluate glaze morphology, the glaze–body interface, and the formation of metallic phases responsible for the luster effect. SEM observations indicated that the glaze applied to the white clay body exhibited greater thickness uniformity and a well-defined transition zone. In contrast, the chamotte clay body, due to its higher porosity, showed a more heterogeneous glaze distribution and increased interfacial irregularities. EDS analyses revealed the localized distribution of metallic elements, particularly silver and copper, and demonstrated the influence of body composition on glaze–body interactions. XRD results confirmed the presence of silver- and copper-rich crystalline phases on the glaze surface. Overall, the results demonstrate that the optical and esthetic performance of luster glazes depends on both glaze formulation and the microstructural properties of the ceramic body, providing relevant insights for optimizing artistic and industrial applications.
