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
