Abstract
Abstract A glaze-forming composition for producing a matured glaze on a ceramic clay body wherein the composition is a plastic, malleable, coherent mass, maturable into a glaze on the surface of the ceramic clay body upon firing, and bondable to an unfired clay body. The composition can be used by molding it onto the surface of an unfired ceramic clay body and firing the glaze-forming composition and ceramic clay body simultaneously. Alternatively, the glaze-forming composition may be applied to the clay body by forming a slip or slurry thereof in water, placing the slip on a non-porous surface in a decorative pattern, applying the surface of a plaster of paris body to the surface of the decorative pattern thereby transferring the decorative pattern to the surface of the plaster of paris, allowing said decorative pattern to dry and applying the surface of a green tile ceramic body to said decorative pattern thereby transferring said decorative pattern to said tile body. Thereafter, the tile body is fired to its maturing point.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A glaze-forming composition for producing a matured glaze on a ceramic clay body, said glaze-forming composition being a plastic, malleable, coherent mass which is moldable onto an unfired ceramic clay body and maturable into a glaze on the surface of said unfired ceramic clay body upon firing, and is bondable to said unfired ceramic clay body, said glaze-forming composition consisting essentially of plastic clay, a glaze flux, alumina, and silica, at least a portion of the alumina and silica being derived from the clay, the amount of clay in said glaze-forming composition being at least 30%, by weight, the molecular ratio of flux to alumina to silica, including the alumina and silica in the plastic clay, being from 1-0.3-2.2 to 1-1.1-7.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A glaze-forming composition for producing a matured glaze on a ceramic clay body, said glaze-forming composition being a plastic, malleable, coherent mass which is moldable onto an unfired ceramic clay body and maturable into a glaze on the surface of said unfired ceramic clay body upon firing, and is bondable to said unfired ceramic clay body, said glaze-forming composition consisting essentially of plastic clay, a glaze flux, alumina, and silica, at least a portion of the alumina and silica being derived from the clay, the amount of clay in said glaze-forming composition being at least 30%, by weight, the molecular ratio of flux to alumina to silica, including the alumina and silica in the plastic clay, being from 1-0.3-2.2 to 1-1.1-7.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A glaze-forming composition according to claim 2 wherein the ball clay contains not greater than 25%, by weight, of alumina.
Claim 5

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
145 words
A glaze-forming composition for producing a matured glaze on a ceramic body, said glaze-forming composition being a plastic, malleable, coherent mass which is moldable onto an unfired ceramic clay body and maturable into a glaze on the surface of said unfired ceramic clay body upon firing, and is bondable to said unfired ceramic clay body and is more malleable than said unfired clay body, said glaze-forming composition consisting essentially of a plastic ball clay containing less than 30%, by weight, of alumina, a metal monoxide glaze flux, alumina, and silica, at least a portion of the alumina and silica being derived from said ball clay, the amount of said ball clay in said glaze-forming composition being between 30% and 50%, by weight, the molecular ratio of flux to alumina to silica, including the alumina and silica in the plastic clay, being from 1-0.3-2.2 to 1-1.1-7.
