Color matching in pottery glazing refers to the selection and combination of glaze colors to achieve aesthetically pleasing results. Pottery glazes are inorganic, non-crystalline, glassy coatings that are applied to ceramic ware. Different glaze colors can be achieved through various chemical compositions and firing temperatures. Artists and potters consider factors such as the base color of the glaze, the presence of metallic oxides, and the effects of different firing atmospheres to achieve desired color outcomes.
