There are two types of baking for pottery, one is body baking (or biscuit baking) and the other is glaze baking. Biscuits are of two types, clay bodies and white bodies or ceramics that are mostly used in China, Japan and Europe. For firing clay bodies, a temperature of about 900 degrees is needed, and for firing ceramics, a temperature of about 1000 degrees is needed, which usually all furnaces cover this level.

There are some points in firing the glaze. If the glaze is on a clay body, it is baked at a temperature of 700 degrees and the color will lighten, but if the glaze is on a white body, this temperature should also reach 1050 degrees. Glaze firing has a direct relationship with heat. For example, for firing glaze on ceramic bodies, one must be patient to reach the desired temperature because the temperature of 1050 must be advanced for a much longer period of time. This process of firing and removing the color of the glaze should take more than 10 hours to reach the desired result.Therefore, the glaze and enamel glaze require different ovens that They produce more heat.
