<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 5195, member: 37"]Glaze popping is often due to spalling. A basic definition of which involves expansion of base materials causing the glaze to pop or flake off. This can be due to some inherent instability of the materials or from infiltration of moisture due to glaze failure (crazing). I imagine the latter is the reason for your pot's glaze popping. I think it needs to be mentioned but would not consider this to be a huge problem. Most people buying such crocks do not plan to use them as they were originally intended.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
