White glaze is one of the traditional glaze colors of porcelain. The real white glaze should be a milky white opalescent glaze, which was invented only in modern times. In ancient China, only the Yuan Dynasty's imperial glaze was translucent. Other white glazes were not white glazes, but transparent glazes made by applying glaze without metal oxide color elements to porcelain with pure white porcelain bodies and firing them at high temperature in the kiln. The glaze color shows white because of the contrast with the white and moist porcelain body. Nowadays, such transparent glaze is also called white glaze.
