What is blistering or flaking of a lustre ?

Blistering

can happen with glazes that boil a lot before maturing in the kiln. If the kiln isn't held at the top temperature long enough, bubbles that form in the boiling stage don't get a chance to heal
completely. This usually leaves little smoothed out craters in the glaze.
