Talk:Hard-paste porcelain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello Emana, Thanks for your contributions but I think some rewording is needed. And I hope you do not consider my comments below to be critical:
- Could you elaborate on what you mean by Because of its natural characteristics?
- The temperature range for hard-paste porcelain is not significantly wider than other bodies; infact becuase of the increased risk of pyroplastic deformation it often has a comparatively narrow firing range
- Are you sure examples can resemble adobe? I've always understood adobe to be a type of unfired clay, and therefore porcelain would certainly not share a resemblance
- A slight change is wording for Hard-paste porcelain is usually utilized to make bisque to be Hard-paste porcelain can be utilized ... would be more correct
- Bisque porcelain is not glass like as the former has a crystalline content whilst the latter does not
- Again are you sure in suggesting opaque bright white ceramic as porcelain generally is translucent
Any thouhts?
Regards,
Andy
Hi Andy,
Positive critiques are always welcome.
- I will remove "Because of its natural characteristics" because it is not apparent without much explanation.
- I will remove "wide" from "wide range of temp..." because as you suggested, it is not wide in comparison to other bodies (although a few hundred degrees seem to be a lot of heat for the laymen). Would you mind adding the "risk of pyroplastic deformation" into the article?
- I will remove "adobe", because you are correct that the fired white-body does not resemble adobe at all. Only once it is painted, it may look like other materials.
- Thanks for the rewording, I'll use "can"
- How about "hard crystalline material"?
- I thought the opposite of "transparent" was "opaque". I totally forgot about "translucent".
Thanks for your help
