Glaze firing Oxidation: This is the firing of a glaze in the presence of oxygen. Electric kilns will, in normal use, produce oxidized glazes. The adequate supply of oxygen during firing enables the clay and glaze materials to maintain their oxygen levels and the oxides present to remain intact, thus oxidation colour responses are achieved from the oxides used. For example, copper oxide will produce greens.
