Fritted

/ˈfrɪtɪd/ adjective

Definition

Made into or containing fritt; having undergone the fritt process of fusion.

Etymology

Past participle of 'fritt,' derived from Italian 'fritta.' Used in ceramics and glasswork to describe materials that have been pre-fused.

Kelly Says

When potters 'fritt' materials, they're essentially pre-cooking their glazes—this two-step process actually prevents bubbling and cracking in the final product, which is why professional ceramicists still use this ancient technique today.
